The Attorney General's Office expressed opposition to carrying out overt measures against Bahia governor candidate ACM Neto (União) and the president of the União party, Antônio Rueda, within the scope of the so-called Master case. The information was included in an intelligence report from the Federal Police attached to a decision by Minister André Mendonça of the Supreme Federal Court, who entered the Fake News inquiry.
The operation against ACM Neto and Rueda was not carried out and was pending a judicial decision from Mendonça. The Federal Police document cites this action as an example that the minister would be adopting political criteria in defining his investigation targets.
The Federal Police report states that not implicating ACM Neto in the Master case investigations contributes to an electoral scenario favorable to the right-wing political field in Bahia, where the candidate leads the polls. The text suggests that Mendonça's posture would directly benefit the right-wing candidate.
The report supports a decision by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, who identified strong indications of irregular practices. The decision to include Mendonça in the Fake News inquiry was made based on this document that points to alleged partial decisions by the minister in the Master case.
