Karina Michelin wrote that on the same day the Federal Police's request to investigate Flávio Bolsonaro was made public, which was sent to Minister Alexandre de Moraes, Lula threatened his opponent during the Band debate on October 18, with statements about possible judicial consequences. According to her, the PF's representation, forwarded to the Supreme Federal Court, dealt with suspicions of money laundering and connections with those investigated in the INSS scandal. The request was randomly assigned to Moraes, who was to decide on opening the inquiry. Michelin also reported that Roberta Luchsinger, who is being investigated in the INSS case, told CNN Brazil that she intended to negotiate a plea deal involving Lulinha. Luchsinger accused Lula of using state apparatus against her and stated that she would hold the president responsible if anything happened to her or her two daughters. Regarding the Banco Master case, involving Daniel Vorcaro, Michelin mentioned his allegations that attempts at plea collaboration had been blocked when references to Lula came up. The author claimed that the disclosure of a possible investigation against a presidential candidate on the eve of the second round, combined with Lula's statements in the debate, raised concerns about prosecutorial judicial decisions in the final stretch of the dispute. She advocated for vigilance and transparency and said it was unacceptable for Republic institutions to be instrumentalized to pursue opponents, interfere with the popular will, or remove an opposition candidate from the race through judicial means on the eve of the election. #PolíticaBrasil #Justiça #Eleições2023 (translated)
