STJ Extends Buzzi Harassment Inquiry to April 14 as Ministers Weigh Disciplinary Case

Overview

• The court formally pushed the sindicância’s conclusion to April 14, with the plenary session to review the report rescheduled for 4:30 p.m. that day.
• Marco Buzzi remains suspended and barred from workplace access and official prerogatives while continuing to receive roughly R$44,000 per month.
• A majority of ministers is inclined to open a disciplinary proceeding, which would notify the Public Prosecutor’s Office and could block a retirement request.
• Buzzi’s lawyers deny the accusations, say he will not seek retirement, and have filed a written defense asserting a lack of evidence.
• The three-member STJ commission has reviewed statements from three women as CNJ relator Mauro Campbell shares case materials, while a criminal probe proceeds at the Supreme Court under Nunes Marques.
