BRASILIA - A Brazilian government agency monitoring money laundering, at the heart of the recent fight against corruption, has repeatedly overreached by acting without judicial approval, the head of the country’s Supreme Court told Reuters.
In an interview on the eve of his first anniversary at the head of Brazil’s top court, Dias Toffoli offered his clearest explanation yet behind a decision in July to suspend investigations that were based on information provided by COAF. “These bodies started asking COAF directly to extract financial flows of specific targets, subverting what they should have been asking the judiciary,” Toffoli said at his office in Brasilia.
His comments come as Brazil’s largest-ever corruption probe, known as Operation Car Wash, has also suffered a dramatic fall from grace with leaked messages showing alleged collaboration between lead prosecutors and the main judge at the time — Sergio Moro, now Bolsonaro’s justice minister.
