Commission stated that Silvinei Vasques participated in ‘preparation’ for acts in Brasilia and was almost arrested for false testimony
Disclosure/PRF Commission reported that it considered arresting Vasques for false testimony
The Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) of the 8th of January stated this Tuesday, the 18th, to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) that there are indications that the former director of the Federal Highway Police (PRF), Silvinei Vasques, would have participated in “preparatory facts” to the acts. In addition, the commission said it considered arresting Vasques for false testimony. The statement was made by the Senate’s lawyers in defending the commission’s position for the breach of telephone and bank secrecy after Vasques gave testimony at the CPMI. The breach is contested by the defense of the former director, who claims to have no relation with the acts. For the CPMI, only with the breach of secrecy will it be possible to carry out a detailed investigation of the case. “After hearing the petitioner as a witness, the collegiate understood that there were indications that the petitioner would have participated, as general director of the PRF, of possible preparatory events for the 8th of January. It was even considered the arrest of the petitioner for false testimony”, said the commission.
The CPMI also investigates Vasques’ conduct in command of the PRF on the day of the second round of the 2022 elections, when there were operations in the North and Northeast to investigate the displacement of drivers, and the corporation’s performance in clearing highways after the announcement of the result. of the lawsuit. Silvinei Vasques’ defense told the STF that he was summoned to testify as a witness and provided all the necessary information to the parliamentarians. For the lawyers, the approval of breach of secrecy was a “real violence to the Constitution and to the image and privacy” of the former director. “The petitioner has nothing to do with the acts of January 8, which is why his summons to testify was illegal, even configuring an unjustified expenditure of public money, in addition to breaching the principle of efficiency”, he concluded.
