In addition to the political and economic effects, the “lava jet” task force presents challenges for lawyers, judges and prosecutors. Discussing the legal consequences and challenges posed by the operation was the theme of one of the panels at the event promoted by the Trevisan Business School, this Monday (25/11), in São Paulo. One of the main focuses of the discussion was the institute of plea bargaining. Prosecutor Janice Ascari — head of the São Paulo branch of the task force — stated that the Public Ministry learned to deal in practice with the new instrument, but highlighted the entity's effort to create rules for its use. “We are building this institute in progress. Fixing a plane while it's in the air.
In the first agreements, we found a way to put everything on paper. Then, with the advancement of investigations involving people with a lot of political power, our leadership decided to establish joint guidelines”, explains the prosecutor. This guide established, for example, that the MPF does not look for anyone to enter into a plea bargain agreement and that prosecutors do not have access to collaborations that other colleagues Honduras Mobile Number List have entered into. Lawyer and former Minister of the General Inspectorate of the Union Valdir Simão highlighted in his speech the difficulties in concluding leniency agreements. “We made good progress, but it wasn’t easy. It was not easy because the Anti-Corruption Law, when it was sent to Congress in 2010, did not address this issue”, he comments. He also defended the use of an instrument to mitigate the negative effects on the economy of operations such as lava jet.
Our reading is that the company always has to be saved. I'm not saying that companies don't have to receive any type of punishment. What I defend is that it can continue to generate jobs”, he argues. Criminalist Alberto Zacharias Toron made a point of saying that “lava jet” did have positive aspects, but its effect was destructive on the economy. “ They destroyed companies and destroyed many jobs. This is an atrocity in a poor country like ours,” he said. The lawyer also recalled that, despite the MPF's efforts, there is still “a lack of rules” for the institute of plea bargaining. Toron said that in the current situation the role of law has to be to rescue certain values such as legality. “Many judges are freeing themselves from the constraints of legality to deliver justice according to their own convictions. Often denying the letter of the law”, he argues.
