Overview

  • The STJ plenary, meeting behind closed doors, voted 21–8 to open an internal sindicância into allegations that Marco Buzzi tried to grab an 18-year-old on a Santa Catarina beach in January.
  • The three-member inquiry panel now includes Raul Araújo, Antônio Carlos Ferreira and Francisco Falcão after Isabel Gallotti left the commission, with Vice President Luís Felipe Salomão named as alternate.
  • The CNJ’s corregedoria is handling a confidential inquiry and has taken depositions, including a detailed in-person statement from the young woman, according to reports.
  • Because Buzzi holds privileged forum, the criminal investigation was sent to the Supreme Federal Court and was assigned to relator Kassio Nunes Marques.
  • Buzzi denies wrongdoing, filed a medical certificate, and is hospitalized in Brasília on a 10-day leave as his defense criticizes what it calls improper leaks and premature judgment.
