The defense of senator Ciro Nogueira (PP-PI) asked Minister André Mendonça of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) to remove the restrictions imposed on an aircraft, a BMW vehicle and financial assets blocked in May of this year, during an operation related to the Banco Master case. In exchange, the lawyers propose that the unavailability of goods be maintained exclusively on four lots in Teresina valued at R$ 19 million.
At the time of the operation, Mendonça determined the blocking of goods and values in the amount of R$ 18.8 million. The minister stated in the decision that Ciro Nogueira is under investigation for allegedly having acted in favor of Vorcaro and received, in return, undue advantages.
According to the defense, however, the judicial order determined the blocking of R$ 18.8 million, but ended up reaching assets of the parliamentarian in a value superior to what was established. The lawyers state that all real estate, vehicles and financial assets owned by Ciro were made unavailable.
