The National Council of Justice opened Administrative Disciplinary Procedure PAD to investigate signs of involvement of judge Carlos Luiz de Souza of the Court of Justice of the State of Tocantins in a fraud scheme in the payment of court orders and the sale of judicial decisions. The procedure was opened this Tuesday during the th ordinary session which also determined the magistrate's removal from his duties.
The plenary's decision to remove the judge from his duties was taken without prejudice to a similar determination already made by the Superior Court of Justice where he is being investigated on suspicion of passive corruption formation of a gang and involvement in fraud with court orders. In two court cases in the judgment of appeals filed the STJ concluded that there was undue favoritism to the judge.
The plenary followed the vote of the National Inspector BTC Number Data of Justice Minister Eliana Calmon rapporteur of the inquiry. In her vote the magistrate pointed out evidence that the judge when he held the position of vicepresident of the TJTO disregarded the payment order for court orders and thus benefited creditors from the state of Tocantins participating in the scheme. In return according to the rapporteur he would have received undue advantages through lawyers responsible for paying the bribe.
Eliana Calmon also indicated that Carlos Luiz de Souza had a wealth evolution that does not correspond to his salaries as a judge. “The evidence raised in the records needs to be investigated more effectively” stated the inspector highlighting the need to open the PAD based on Resolution of the CNJ.
During the discussion of the matter due to the involvement of lawyers in the scheme minister Eliana Calmon incorporated suggestions from counselor Jorge Helio and the president of the Federal Council of the Brazilian Bar Association Ophir Cavalcante into her report. The counselor suggested observations about the criteria for joining the Tocantins OAB section as one of the lawyers involved is a former judge who was compulsorily retired. Ophir Cavalcante in turn proposed sending the rapporteur's vote with a recommendation that the aforementioned section investigate the conduct of the lawyers benefiting from the scheme.
