Desconhecido
First point: technically Mauro Cid is not a state witness; that is not a plea bargain, let's start there.
Desconhecido
The plea bargain is expressly provided for in the law on criminal organizations that deals with plea bargains, which regulates plea bargains.
Desconhecido
Plea bargain?
Desconhecido
You confess to a crime and you cooperate in uncovering evidence and the perpetrators of the crime you committed.
Desconhecido
Mauro Cid confesses to a crime he did not commit, and he hands over innocent people without evidence.
Desconhecido
That is technically not a plea bargain.
Desconhecido
See the difference with Lava Jato.
Desconhecido
In Lava Jato, there were 177 plea bargains.
Desconhecido
The state witnesses, for example the owners of the country’s largest construction companies, firms that operate worldwide, confessed their crimes, handed over evidence, PICs, for example.
Desconhecido
of corruption by public officials, and they returned/repatriated corruption money that exceeded a billion.
Desconhecido
Mauro Cid has given 11 versions.
Desconhecido
For far less than that, this supposed plea bargain, this sham of a plea bargain by Mauro Cid, which technically is not a plea bargain, would already have collapsed.
Desconhecido
For far less, this plea bargain would already have been rescinded.
Desconhecido
But they cannot rescind Mauro Cid’s plea bargain.
Desconhecido
That's the point.
Desconhecido
Because all they have is Mauro Cid.
Desconhecido
In the absence of evidence, they will use Mauro Cid in the judgment as a substitute for proof.
Desconhecido
What happens here?
Desconhecido
The law expressly says that when the agreement is broken — a plea bargain is nothing more than a contract.
Desconhecido
It's an agreement made between the defense and the prosecution.
Desconhecido
This agreement is as follows.
Desconhecido
I confess the crime, I hand over evidence of the crime.
Desconhecido
See, Mauro Cid did not hand over any messages, he handed over nothing.
Desconhecido
And I hand over people, I contribute to the investigation.
Desconhecido
What we have here is that Mauro Cid repeats what the investigation already has and what the investigation wants him to repeat.
Desconhecido
But if they rescind Mauro Cid's agreement, what is left?
Desconhecido
Nothing is left.
Desconhecido
In dictatorships, take a historical look.
Desconhecido
For example, the Inquisition.
Desconhecido
We can think of it that way.
Desconhecido
Totalitarians want plea bargains.
Desconhecido
In a dictatorship, the plea bargain is the queen of evidence.
Desconhecido
If there is a plea bargain, you no longer need evidence.
Desconhecido
That's why dictators want plea bargains so much.
Desconhecido
Because they still have this bias that confession is the queen of evidence.
Desconhecido
So, in the absence of evidence, it's enough to have a plea bargain.
Desconhecido
A confession is enough.
Desconhecido
But in a Rule of Law — which some still insist we have — confession is not sufficient to accuse and convict people.
Desconhecido
In a Rule of Law, along with a confession you need evidence.
Desconhecido
Mauro Cid confesses exclusively; he does not bring evidence.
