Paulo Gonet, Brazil's Attorney General, filed requests for annulment of investigations in which he is mentioned. The Federal Public Ministry confirmed the existence of these requests but did not reveal details about the processes involved.
In none of the requests filed does Gonet deny the facts attributed to him in the investigations. His defense strategy is based exclusively on procedural arguments.
The main argument used by the Attorney General is the alleged lack of evidence in the processes in which he is mentioned. Gonet also contests the competence of the judge who ordered the investigations, thus questioning the legitimacy of the magistrate to conduct the processes.
The requests for annulment were directed to the competent judicial authorities and now await a decision on whether the investigations should proceed or not.
