Gilmar Mendes, March 9, 2021

“reitero que a conclusão sobre a parcialidade do julgador é aferível a partir dos fatos narrados na impetração original, de modo a se afastar quaisquer eventuais discussões sobre o tema da possibilidade de utilização da prova potencialmente ilícita pela defesa.”

Portal translation: I reiterate that the conclusion about the judge's partiality can be ascertained from the facts narrated in the original petition, so as to rule out any possible discussions on the possibility of the defense using potentially illicit evidence.

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

Context

Gilmar Mendes stated that the conclusion on partiality does not depend on the discussion over the use of messages obtained in Operation Spoofing.
