Roberto Mantovani, Andréia and Alex Zanatta were approached by the Federal Police on their return to Brazil on Friday
Businessman Roberto Mantovani and his wife, Andréia Mantovani, denied having offended Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), and classified the case as a “misunderstanding”. The statement was given in testimony to the Federal Police this Sunday (16).
To the investigators, the couple stated that they did not offend Moraes and that there was a heated discussion with the minister’s entourage. They stated that the offenses were not uttered by Andréia and that the attacks came from the security guards of the president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
Roberto told the police that he tried to contain the fight between the security guards and his wife. They still regretted having “casually passed through this unfortunate episode”.
“They clarify that the offenses attributed as if they were from Andréa to Minister Alexandre de Moraes were probably uttered by someone else, not by her. That from this interpretative confusion a verbal misunderstanding was born between her and two people who accompanied the Minister”, stated the couple’s defense.
“That in the face of this discussion, which became heated in the face of the serious offenses directed at Andréa, Roberto, who is over 70 years old, had to contain the young offender’s spirits. In this way, they reiterate that at no time were there any offenses, much less threats to Min. Alexander, who happened to pass by them in this unfortunate episode, ”he concluded.
The couple’s son-in-law, Alex Zanatta, also testified this Sunday to the Federal Police in Piracicaba. The broker denied having insulted Moraes and having tried to attack the minister’s son.
The three are accused of uttering offenses against Alexandre de Moraes last Friday at the airport in Rome, Italy. Moraes was waiting for a flight after participating in the International Law Forum.
The STF minister was called a “bandit, communist and bought” by the group. Moraes’ son was also physically attacked, according to authorities.
They even spoke with the authorities when they returned to Brazil, but avoided going into details about the case. The PF informed that an investigation was initiated and the case will continue under investigation.
