On Monday, the National Justice Council (CNJ) in Brazil announced that it has received a new allegation of sexual harassment involving Marco Buzzi, a member of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). The council has initiated a fresh disciplinary complaint to investigate the matter further. According to the National Justice Inspectorate, they have already taken steps to hear from a potential victim regarding incidents similar to those currently under investigation. These proceedings are confidential to protect the integrity and privacy of all parties involved while ensuring the investigations are adequately conducted.

In defense of Minister Buzzi, his legal representatives have asserted that he has not committed any improper acts, which they claim will be evidenced in the ongoing procedures. They also criticized the leaks of information related to the case, alleging that such actions are intended to jeopardize the legal process and inappropriately influence upcoming judicial decisions. This defense emphasizes Buzzi's commitment to proving his innocence amid serious allegations.

In addition to the complaints being addressed by the CNJ, Minister Buzzi is also facing a criminal investigation at the Supreme Federal Court (STF). This situation underscores the complexities and challenges within the Brazilian legal system as it deals with accusations against high-ranking judicial figures. The outcome of these investigations could have significant implications for Buzzi's career and trust in the judicial system.
