Lucas Matheus wrote that a source close to him told him that about 65 GB of new conversations related to the Vorcaro case were in the hands of a few media outlets. He said he was unable to confirm the information independently but stated that the gradual release of the material corresponded to the source's account. According to Matheus, excerpts were being published during the second round and used in political disputes and, at times, to divert attention from other issues. He argued that the material, being of public interest, should be made available in full, citing the release of documents by the DOJ in the Epstein case as a comparison. Matheus accused the Federal Police, the Supreme Federal Court, and the Attorney General's Office of keeping information confidential that, in his assessment, should be public while parts of the content leaked. He also mentioned that there were those who claimed that excerpts were being sold. He criticized the actions of the press and the judiciary, stated that some actors had strong connections—without specifying with whom—and asserted that no one had been held accountable. Finally, he urged the public to question why and how the material was being disclosed at that moment. #Justiça #Transparência #Imprensa (translated)
