Deltan Dallagnol, September 2016

“O problema é que não estamos provando os crimes diversos. Acho capenga”

Portal translation: The problem is that we are not proving the various crimes. I think it's lame

The translation is the portal's; the original text, in Portuguese, is the one that prevails.

Leaked message, not a public statement. Message from the Operation Spoofing material (hacked phones), released by reports from The Intercept Brasil and partners since 2019. On February 9, 2021, the Second Panel of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) confirmed Lewandowski's decision that gave Lula's defense access to the dialogues (vote of Gilmar Mendes, HC 164.493). This message was read only in a union outlet that cites ConJur. Dallagnol's position on its authenticity and any forensic report: not located in the sources consulted as of October 24, 2026. On July 5, 2019, the Ministry of Justice said it did not recognize the authenticity of messages of this type (evid:f06-mj-nota-nao-reconhece-autenticidade-2019-07-05).
Context
In an internal conversation, on a date not stated on the page read, Dallagnol discussed the current-account thesis and the evidence of the money laundering offense in the indictment against Lula.
