“Denunciation of an arrested defendant is impossible”: Arthur Lira points out excesses in Federal Police investigations

Arthur Lira (PP-AL), House Leader, said in an interview with the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, about the need for the government to act with “care” in the face of the recent excesses perceived in the investigations conducted by the Federal Police. According to him, there are cases in which the agents are “going beyond” what would be the appropriate procedure.

Lira spared no criticism in the use of Plea Bargain denunciations granted to individuals already incarcerated, as was the case of Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, who has already performed the function of auxiliary of orders of Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Even if you avoid discussing the merits of the whistleblower

At another point in the interview, Lira confirms that the Progressive Party (PP) and the Republicans, after the incorporation of two ministries and state companies, are formally inserted in the support base for the PT government in parliament. This alliance, as noted by him, will guarantee President Lula a significant base of about 350 votes in the House, a number more than enough to approve proposals for amendments to the Constitution (PECs).

Lira did not deny that the management of Caixa Econômica Federal will be under his responsibility, highlighting that future political indications for positions in the institution will be submitted to his evaluation.
