According to Poder360, the rapporteur pointed to 15 proceedings that could have become administrative disciplinary proceedings (PADs) and found that the early resignation defrauded the rule; the TRE-PR had granted the registration on October 19, 2022 because no PAD had been opened; Marlon Reis considered the analysis precise; Marco Aurélio Mello said that fraud is not presumed and that the decision might target protagonists of Lava Jato.
