Federal Police summons union leader from the Revenue to testify after Moraes' order
The Federal Police summoned Kleber Cabral, president of the National Association of Federal Revenue Auditors, to testify following a Supreme Court order due to allegations of data leaks involving court ministers.
The Federal Police of Brazil has summoned Kleber Cabral, the president of the National Association of Federal Revenue Auditors (Unafisco), to provide testimony as per the instruction of Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The testimony is scheduled to take place on Friday, and it is part of an investigation that is currently being conducted under secrecy. Close associates of Cabral have indicated that the summons may be linked to clarifications surrounding the allegations of data leaks from court officials, which have recently stirred controversy in Brazil's legal and political landscape.
Cabral has been vocal in his criticism of the Supreme Court during recent interviews, especially regarding the court's handling of allegations surrounding leaked information about its ministers. He alleged that one of the auditors involved had faced a "false positive" from the court and described the response to these allegations as disproportionate. This situation highlights growing tensions between the judiciary and regulatory bodies, as accusations of misconduct and inefficiencies in handling sensitive information become focal points in public discourse.
The Unafisco is just one organization tied to the ongoing inquiries, with Cabral suggesting that the scrutiny is extending to other federal employees. Furthermore, the case includes Ricardo Mansano de Moraes, who is suspected of having accessed private data regarding a former stepdaughter of Minister Gilmar Mendes. This unfolding scenario presents significant implications for law enforcement, government accountability, and the independence of judicial processes in Brazil.
