Gleisi Hoffmann: The ruling, approved unanimously by the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), says the following.
Gleisi Hoffmann: The combination of five elements, duly connected and contextualized, reveals in a crystalline manner that the respondent resigned from the office of Prosecutor of the Republic on November 3, 2021 with the purpose of frustrating... the application of the ineligibility provided for in Article 1 of Complementary Law 6490.
The law states that magistrates and members of the Public Ministry who have requested dismissal or voluntary retirement while an administrative disciplinary proceeding is pending are ineligible for any office for a period of eight years.
Gleisi Hoffmann: That was the case of deputy Caçado, with a tainted record, who had already received two penalties from the National Council of the Public Ministry (CNMP) and resigned to avoid another 15 proceedings, including the accusation of embezzling R$ 2.5 billion in Lava Jato.
Gleisi Hoffmann: And then the TSE's unanimous decision continues.
