Collaboration between prosecution and judges [1] is not bullshit.
Also his judgement is not pending. Some charges were dropped by the new court because there were not enough evidences and the other case is now prescribed [2].

- matheusmoreira 4y ago> Collaboration between prosecution and judges That's not the reason why he was cleared by the supreme court though. It says in all references it was because the court that tried him didn't have jurisdiction. The crimes didn't happen where he was tried. > Some charges were dropped by the new court because there were not enough evidences and the other case is now prescribed Wow. I give up. I don't have the energy for this anymore.
