The most advanced project is currently being discussed in the Ministry of Justice and following the attacks against De Moraes and family members, the PF’s claim gained strength, the publication Correio Braziliense reports.
He points out that after the attack on the Minister of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) at Rome’s Fiumicino airport, unrest with authorities abroad increased between the three powers.
He points out that the aggressiveness could have been greater if the attack on the judge had taken place on a street, hotel or building with less security, little traffic and far from Italian agents.
For this reason, the executive, judiciary and legislatures are considering measures to improve the protection of their members outside the country.
Currently, the President of the Republic, the Vice President and former heads of state are entitled by law to company security, and these authorities are called dignitaries.
However, requests from members of the three powers who request security to be strengthened can be granted.
The analysis is carried out on a case-by-case basis. The quota allocated for these allocations is expected to expand in the coming months.
According to media sources, the split in a new direction is a petition issued earlier this year aimed at organizing the sector.
Months ago, the proposal remained frozen, unnoticed. Now, after the attack on De Moraes, the project is under consideration and has received support from the top of the organ.
The media say that while ministers have a security team at home and abroad, according to Supreme Court sources, the majority of judges refuse to have agents escort them when they are on vacation, traveling with family or deem surveillance unnecessary.
When he was attacked in Rome on July 14, De Moraes was returning from the University of Siena’s International Law Forum and was not accompanied by security forces.
Outspoken supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro, businessman Roberto Mantovani, his wife Andréia Munarão and the couple’s son-in-law Alex Zanatta are under investigation by the PF over assaults on the STF minister and his son at Rome’s airport.
The woman called the lawyer a “bandit, communist and sell-out” for his handling of contrary matters involving the far-right politician.
