”CONVERGENCIAS” PROTOCOLS REQUEST AT THE SUPERIOR
ELECTORAL COURT (TSE) PUBLIC HEARING
February 26, 2018 “Convergencias Convergencia”
ACTIVISTS AND MOVEMENT LEADERS REQUIRE TSE TO COMPLY WITH LAW
dezenas de ativistas e lideranças de movimentos civis tiveram a oportunidade de falar sobre os anseio da Sociedade acerca do processo eleitoral no que tange à sua transparência como um todo.
In a public hearing held this Monday, February 26, by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), with the presidency of Minister Fux and the presence of Minister Weber, dozens of activists and leaders of civil movements had the opportunity to speak about the expectations of the Brazilian Society about the electoral process as regards its transparency as a whole.
The video of the event is recorded and can be accessed later. In general, with the exception of the IBRADE (Brazilian Institute of Electoral Law) president, who stood against the impression of voting and in favor of the reliability of electronic ballot boxes, the massive presence of activists and movements through the auditable vote was something unheard of in History Brazilian cooperation regarding the follow-up of guidelines developed by the authorities far from everyone, in Brasilia. There were several approaches, including the most embarrassing ones, such as the one that confronted the contradiction of the PGR in its ADIN by the suspension of the Law of the Printed Vow and the measures, although timid, of the TSE, for the making of at least 30 thousand printers. It was also quoted the fact that the vote of 370 deputies and 59 senators overturning the veto to the vote printed by the then president Rousseff can not be annulled by a monocratic decision of the STF. In general, practically everyone demanded compliance with the Law.
TSE HAS TO FULFILL THE LAW AS DESCRIBED IN A PROTOCOLED DOCUMENT
On the other hand, Convergences sent a Letter to contribute to the scope of the hearing, which was to collect data and information from the Society to compose the Resolution that will guide the 2018 Elections. The document was not read in the plenary, but was filed and will consist in the minutes of the session. Its terms objectively refer to the legislation to which the TSE is bound to follow, in a logical and sequential process, without legislative innovation - which is prohibited by Article 16 of the Federal Constitution, whose sequence of only 5 points is transcribed below. The Charter can also be downloaded here.
_______________________________________________________________________________
TO
TSE - SUPERIOR COURT OF ELECTION
TO THE ATTENTION OF
EXMO. MR. DR. LUIZ FUX
MD PRESIDENT
BRASILIA DF
Exce:
In view of the opportunity that is offered with this hearing today, in order to deal with the processes related to the methods of voting and determination of the votes in the next elections, we have come to your presence to bring the cry of the Brazilian Society desirous of safe elections, with transparent scrutiny resulting in honest elections. There are several aspects related to the great discussions about electronic ballot boxes, security regarding external tampering, programmable fraud, data transmission, and totalizations of manipulative results. Considering, however, the need to leave everything prepared for the litigation that is already approaching, let us list below, what the Brazilian Society expects - nothing more than compliance with the Law and the Constitution. In this sense, we list:
1. Vote printed in compliance with Law 13.165 / 15 - we understand the difficulties of achieving full implementation as mandated by the Law, so, next item:
2. Vote on a ballot paper with ballot box in all the electoral sections that do not have electronic ballot boxes, because they are not equipped with a printer, as determined by the aforementioned Law. Such determination complies with Contingency Resolution No. 23.202 / 10, which deals with the substitution of non-functional ballot boxes by ballot boxes and ballot paper voting.
3. The ballot of votes, whether printed or paper ballots, shall be public, pursuant to art. 37 of CF / 88 (morality, publicity, citizenship, and ample supervision) also under the terms of Law 9,504 / 97, article 66 and article 192 of the Electoral Code, all related to counting, ballot by ballot, voting, considering that it is absolutely ILLEGAL and IMORAL the scrutiny made secretly by the machine itself, as it has been done for 20 years.
4. That public ballots be held immediately after the closing of the election in each electoral section, in compliance with Resolution 23.399 / 14, including the respective issuance of the bulletin referring to the aforementioned ballot, which shall be signed by the consular officers, party inspectors and / or voters who are accredited, distributing the routes in a minimum of five (5) still being affixed, one of them in a place visible to all.
5. That all votes duly counted and calculated are, in an organized manner as to the results established, reintroduced in the respective canvas urns or boxes coupled to the electronic ballot boxes with attached printers, sealing them for eventual recount, according to the law.
These are, Mr. President, the considerations of the Brazilian Society, today represented by dozens of civil movements in the Convergence coalition, which, as preambularly quoted, only require compliance with the Law and the Magna Carta regarding the electoral process to be administered by this High Court and its state and local representatives.
We took advantage of the fact that we wish for profitable management in the position recently inaugurated, with which,

America’s Electronic Voting Machines Are Scarily Easy Targets
A voter uses an electronic voting machine in Philadelphia, April 26 2016.
Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg/Getty Images
This week, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump openly speculated that this election would be "rigged." Last month, Russia decided to take an active role in our election. There's no basis for questioning the results of a vote that's still months away. But the interference and aspersions do merit a fresh look at the woeful state of our outdated, insecure electronic voting machines.
We’ve previously discussed the sad state of electronic voting machines in America, but it’s worth a closer look as we approach election day itself, and within the context of increased cyber-hostilities between the US and Russia. Besides, by now states have had plenty of warning since a damning report by the Brennan Center for Justice about our voting machine vulnerabilities came out last September. Surely matters must have improved since then.
Well, not exactly. In fact, not really at all.
Rise of the Machines
Most people remember the vote-counting debacle of the 2000 election, the dangling chads that resulted in the Supreme Court breaking a Bush-Gore deadlock. What people may not remember is the resulting Help America Vote Act (HAVA), passed in 2002, which among other objectives worked to phase out the use of the punchcard voting systems that had caused millions of ballots to be tossed.
In many cases, those dated machines were replaced with electronic voting systems. The intentions were pure. The consequences were a technological train wreck.
Trending Now
Science
Neuroscientist Anil Seth Answers Neuroscience Questions From Twitter
“People weren’t thinking about voting system security or all the additional challenges that come with electronic voting systems,” says the Brennan Center’s Lawrence Norden. “Moving to electronic voting systems solved a lot of problems, but created a lot of new ones.”
The list of those problems is what you’d expect from any computer or, more specifically, any computer that’s a decade or older. Most of these machines are running Windows XP, for which Microsoft hasn’t released a security patch since April 2014. Though there’s no evidence of direct voting machine interference to date, researchers have demonstrated that many of them are susceptible to malware or, equally if not more alarming, a well-timed denial of service attack.
“When people think that people think about doing something major to impact our election results at the voting machine, they think they’d try to switch results,” says Norden, referring to potential software tampering. “But you can do a lot less than that and do a lot of damage… If you have machines not working, or working slowly, that could create lots of problems too, preventing people from voting at all.”
The extent of vulnerability isn’t just hypothetical; late last summer, Virginia decertified thousands of insecure WinVote machines. As one security researcher described it, “anyone within a half mile could have modified every vote, undetected” without “any technical expertise.” The vendor had gone out of business years prior.
The WinVote systems are an extreme case, but not an isolated one. Other voting machine models have potentially vulnerable wireless components; Virginia’s just the only one where a test proved how bad the situation was.
The worst part about the current state of voting machines is that they don’t even require outside interference to undo an election. “They’re all computers. They run on tens of thousands of lines of code,” says Norden. “It’s impossible to have a perfectly secure, perfectly reliable computer.”
That's true, but in fairness, most computers aren't quite this imperfect, either.
A Good Kind of Audit
So electronic voting machines aren’t ideal. The good news is, it’s entirely possible to mitigate any potential harm they might cause, either by malice or mistake.
First, it’s important to realize that electronic voting machines aren’t as commonplace as one might assume. Three-quarters of the country will vote on a paper ballot this fall, says Pamela Smith, president of Verified Voting, a group that promotes best practices at the polls. Only five states—Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, and New Jersey—use “direct recording electronic” (DRE) machines exclusively. But lots of other states use electronic machines in some capacity. Verified Voting also has a handy map of who votes using what equipment, which lets you drill down both to specific counties and machine brands, so you can see what's in use at your polling station.

More than half of the states conduct post-election auditing, by checking vote totals against paper records, to ensure that the votes are accurate. Both Smith and Norden agree that this sort of auditing is the single best way to guarantee confidence in election results, as does MIT computer scientist Ronald Rivest, who has written extensively [PDF] on voting machine issues.
The problem is that not every state does post-election audits. And even some that require them by law, namely Pennsylvania and Kentucky, don’t actually use voter-verifiable paper trails, meaning they have no way to complete an audit. And progress toward more and better auditing is slow; Maryland just put an auditable system in place this year, Smith says, and will pilot it during the fall election. Over a dozen states still have no audit procedure at all.
The problem with putting these auditing systems in place is the same one keeping more reliable voting machines from the booths in the first place: a lack of money and political will. There’s new voting equipment out there that’s much more secure than the machines states purchased in bulk a decade or more ago, but only a handful of states and municipalities—Rhode Island, DC, and parts of Wisconsin among them—have upgraded in the past year.
“The money’s not there right now,” says Norden. “We interviewed election officials who told us what they were hearing from their state legislators and others who would be funding this type of equipment, and they say come back to us after there’s some kind of crisis.”
Which, if they wait long enough, is exactly what they’re going to get.
Rigging the Vote
For what it’s worth, electronic voting machines have been this hackable in previous elections as well, and there’s no indication—even in Virginia—that there's ever been any interference.
This year feels different though, in no small measure because of Russia’s alleged responsibility for the DNC hack. If Putin would go so far as release those emails, would he pursue a direct assault on our vulnerable voting machines as well?
The short answer? Nyet.
“Putin’s not very nice, but he’s not stupid,” says Ryan Maness, a visiting fellow at Northeastern University who specializes in international cyber conflict and Russian foreign policy. “If they were going to mess with the voting machines and the vote-counting software, they wouldn’t have done the DNC hack.”
Maness argues that the DNC hack and subsequent email release has put a spotlight on Russia. The blowback from such direct interference in a United States election would be too severe. Besides, Maness says, Putin’s main objective was likely to embarrass Hillary Clinton, rather than elevate Trump. And he’s certainly achieved that much already.
But even if Maness is wrong, the even better news is that the three states that will likely decide the election—Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania—have voting machines that are in relatively good shape. Florida has an audit requirement in place, while Ohio not only conducts audits, Smith says, it has an "automatic recount provision," where close races trigger a manual recount without requiring a candidate to request one. "Pennsylvania is of the most concern" among those three, says Smith, "based on the fact they have so many paperless DREs in use." Even there, though, election officials will actively deploy paper ballots in the event that those machines fail.
Still, unlikelihood that Russia would tamper with our voting machines hasn’t lifted the sense of unease around the election. When Donald Trump suggests the election might be "rigged," he's referring to a host of potential disruptions, from the times and dates of scheduled debates to whatever else he might bend to his narrative. In November, should he lose, he'll find the voting machines to be an easy target.
That suspicion is the real danger of electronic voting systems, and especially of those that can’t be easily or effectively audited. If you can’t guarantee that there was no tampering—which not every state can—it might not matter if any actually took place. In the wrong hands, the doubt itself is damaging enough.

REQUESTED DIRECT ACTION OF UNCONSTITUTIONALITY (ADIN) 'S DECLARATION OF NOTICE REQUESTING THE ANNULMENT OF THE PRINTED VOTING LAW
February 24, 2018 “Convergencias Convergencia”
UNAJUF DEMONSTRATES, IN INTERVENTION IN THE DIRECT ACTION OF UNCONSTITUTIONALITY (ADIN) MADE BY THE REPUBLIC'S GENERAL ATTORNEY OFFICE ( PGR), THE TOTAL INDEPENDENCE OF THE REQUEST AND REQUESTS ITS EXTINCTION.
The entity, presided over by Federal Judge Eduardo Cubas, enters Manifestation as "Amicus Curiae", already deferred in an earlier piece in the same ADIN, to demonstrate the facts that make the PGR measure completely inept, that is, with no possibility of if it finds any matter of law that can substantiate the claim of the Head of the MPF.
The piece deserves to be read carefully, as it is very frank, as can be noticed by some excerpts from the text:
"II.1 - Unajuf does not peremptorily condemn all of your attitudes, nor
could, even because you. saved Brazil by preventing the appointment of ex-
President Lula to the pseudocargo of Minister of the Civil House. We recognize the
political character of the STF's actions. Several STF Ministers have already acted,
although we understand the inconvenience of this type of action, because it will always be
pendular
II.2 - This causes the nefarious effect of in one week the Plenary itself
dissenting from one of the Presidents of a Political
Congress, and maintaining another, in identical situations. This all in less than one
week.
II.3. - The conclusion is that the STF is a jabuticaba. Or, in fact, in Tom's words
Jobin: Brazil is not for beginners.
II.4 We are not sure what you are doing. will decide on the alert already made in
preliminary request, and which had the sole purpose of reflecting on a possible
Limitation decision inaudita amends pars of V., upon its signature in the contract
of R $ 7,000,000.00 validating the law by contracting printing models.
II.5- Understand, therefore, that Unajuf's action is here to protect you,
do not misunderstand us, in the face of the eggs thrown at him, at the
impeachment lawsuits against you, in the face of the persecution of
when even in the outside, and even by the boos in airplane that circulate through the
social networks.
II.7 - Therefore, considering that the company is NOT the same as in 2002, when the
STF declared the impossibility of the printed vote, we hope that you. be alert
so that it does not advance on civil procedural legislation, on the Plenary and produces
the "emptying effect" of the STF Ministers for anything, remember: the
STF ministers can do much, very much, but they should not be able to do everything. "
The Minister in question is, of course, Gilmar Mendes.
A WEEKEND
The authors, in fact, sought to make the play as colloquial as possible, so that the Brazilian Society can learn and follow it as well. In fact, this is clearly expressed, justifying the STF itself this intention:
"II.1 – Brazilian Grape (in portuguese“Jabuticaba”). This fruit, most nationally, has been cited by the
Illustrious Minimal Rapporteur Mendes is often right that this Adin is a jabuticaba, with all respect to this fruit, and therefore in the face of the great
capillarity that social networks have produced this petition is not made in "Legal", and Unajuf is sure that this petition will reach millions of
Brazilians."
In this tuning fork, they continue:
"II.2- Come on. What devilish forces are these that make the Attorney General
Republic to join ADIN on Monday, when the
involved in corruption, even in Venezuela, is disqualified by the Court
Superior Electoral for failing to meet the edict the previous Friday? It is said,
after more than 2 years of the validity of the law that orders the vote.
II.3 - And this same Prosecutor of the Republic comes to sustain doubts about
the impression of the vote, which is something banal, commonplace in the life of any Brazilian and
knowing that printing anything is operation that 8-year-old child does. It seems a mockery of national intelligence, and disqualifies Brazil
comparing it as a society of two (2) decades ago, denying even the advances that occurred at that time. "
The authors reach the point of, like any average Brazilian who has understood that the attempt to annul art. 59-A - which established the compulsory printed vote - is devoid of grounds, "if it amounts to a petition to a Small Causes Judge." They explain that it is the vote that will be printed for conference by the voter and deposited in an ballot, in no way violating the secrecy of the vote. In an allusion to human intervention in electronic voting machines, in order to justify the voter's inspection of his printed vote, "the concern of Minister Toffoli," the authors did not fail: "If the problem is human interference, electronic ballot boxes should be banned!"
The comparisons with the technologies of the year 2002 with the current ones, in relation to the printers that at the time "would not have worked well", when Law 9,504 / 97 was still in force that determined the impression of the vote, were also ridiculed with the collation between cell phones of the time and current ones, in several photos. They ask the PGR: "Do you then base your report on what happened in 2002?" In fact, it is 16 years past, that in information technology and electronics is a time that amounts to exponential sophistication.
•
The piece brings, in fact, a series of reflections and facts that demonstrate the total inoportunidad of ADIN.
There is another action also in progress, requiring the nullity of the session of the Supreme Court, since the effects of ADIN, if deferred, violate the principle of annuity provided for in Article 16 of the Constitution.
THE COMPANY CLOSES THE TSE
As stated by Thomas Korontai, Co-ordinator of Convergences, "the Society, represented by several entities and citizens, as well as street movements in several cities, in addition to social networks, demonstrates that it will no longer accept being tricked after 20 years of deployment of electronic ballot boxes . "He also reminds that the issue of scrutiny, for example, should be public, as determined by art. 37 of the Constitution, and that, because of this precept not observed since 1996, "none of the elected would have or have legitimacy to assume or to remain in their respective positions". Obviously, he continues, "we will not do anything about what happened, but what will happen. Such illegitimacy will come to an end this year! "

MPF(Brazilian Federal Prosecutions Office) denounces Sérgia Miranda for fraud at Simcol and should investigate Caio Asfor
November 27, 2017 Walter Bardawil
Offices "Sampaio e Tavares Advocacia e Consultoria" and "Rocha, Marinho e Sales" would be linked by means of operating behind a particular type naive person offering to represent another in an illegal activity "straw" man (in portuguese “laranjas”)
The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF), through the Deputy Attorney General, Luciano Mariz Maia, offered the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) a crime against the Sérgia Maria Mendonça Miranda district attorney for fraud involving the failed bankruptcy of Simcol (building company undergoing bankruptcy).
She dispatched an injunction and wrongly ordered (in one of her shifts) the payment of a check in the amount of one million, one hundred and nineteen thousand, nine hundred and thirty-two reais and one centavo to the office "Sampaio e Tavares Advocacia e Consultoria", which, at the time, in May 2013, had provided legal services to the company.
In addition to Sérgia, Frankraley Oliveira Gomes - boyfriend of the judge at the time -, Paulo Fernando Mendonça and Claudia Adrienne Sampaio de Oliveira are enrolled.
Check out excerpt from MPF complaint.
Orange Partnership
SIMCOL would also have been harmed, in a criminal manner, through another injunction of the same adjudicator. The company was forced to pay very high amounts (over R $ 1 million) to the law firm "Rocha, Marinho e Sales", owned by attorney Caio Asfor.
The payment was made by means of an "orange" connected to the "Sampaio, Tavares Advocacia e Consultoria" office.
The denunciation was sent to the Minister of STJ, Herman Benjamin, by the businessman Gilberto Martins Borges, majority partner and representative of the bankrupt company.
Part of the document of Gilberto Borges below.

CONVERGÊNCIAS PROTOCOLA DOCUMENTO NA AUDIÊNCIA PÚBLICA DO TSE
26 de Fevereiro de 2018 Convergências Convergência 0
ATIVISTAS E LÍDERES DE MOVIMENTOS EXIGEM QUE O TSE CUMPRA A LEI
Em audiência pública realizada nesta segunda feira, dia 26/02, pelo TSE, com a presidência do Ministro Luiz Fux e a presença da Ministra Rosa Weber, dezenas de ativistas e lideranças de movimentos civis tiveram a oportunidade de falar sobre os anseio da Sociedade acerca do processo eleitoral no que tange à sua transparência como um todo.
O vídeo do evento se encontra gravado e pode ser acessado adiante. De uma forma geral, à exceção do presidente do IBRADE – Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Eleitoral – que se colocou contra a impressão do voto e à favor da confiabilidade das urnas eletrônicas, a maciça presença dos ativistas e movimentos pelo voto auditável foi algo inédito na História brasileira no que tange ao acompanhamento de pautas desenvolvidas pelas autoridades distante de todos, em Brasília. Foram diversas abordagens, incluindo as mais constrangedoras como a que colocou em confronto a contradição da PGR em sua ADIN pela suspensão da Lei do Voto Impresso e as providências , ainda que tímidas, do TSE, para a confecção de pelo menos 30 mil impressoras. Foi também citado o fato de que o voto de 370 deputados e 59 senadores derrubando o veto ao voto impresso pela então presidente Dilma não pode ser anulado por uma decisão monocrática do STF. De uma forma geral, praticamente todos exigiram o cumprimento da Lei.
TSE TEM QUE CUMPRIR A LEI CONFORME DESCRITO EM DOCUMENTO PROTOCOLADO
Por outro lado, o Convergências enviou uma Carta para contribuir com o escopo da audiência, que era o de colher dados e informações da Sociedade para compor a Resolução que norteará as Eleições 2018. O documento não foi lido no plenário, mas foi protocolado e constará na ata da sessão. Seus termos citam objetivamente a legislação à qual o TSE se obriga a seguir, dentro de um processo lógico e sequencial, sem inovação legislativa – o que é proibido pelo artigo 16 da Constituição Federal, cuja sequência de apenas 5 pontos está adiante transcrita. A Carta pode também ser baixada aqui.

AO
TSE – TRIBUNAL SUPERIOR ELEITORAL
À ATENÇÃO DO
EXMO. SR. DR. LUIZ FUX
MD PRESIDENTE
BRASÍLIA – DF
Excia:
Tendo em vista a oportunidade que se oferece com esta audiência na data de hoje, para tratar dos processos relacionados aos métodos de votação e apuração dos votos nas próximas eleições, vimos à V. presença para trazer o clamor da Sociedade Brasileira desejosa de eleições seguras, com escrutínio transparente resultando em eleições honestas. São vários os aspectos relacionados nas grandes discussões sobre urnas eletrônicas, segurança quanto a violação externa, fraudes programáveis, transmissão de dados e totalizações de resultados passíveis de manipulações. Considerando, contudo, a necessidade se deixar tudo preparado para o pleito que já se avizinha, elencamos adiante, o que a Sociedade Brasileira espera – nada mais do que o cumprimento da Lei e da Constituição. Nesse sentido, elencamos:
1. Voto impresso em atendimento à Lei 13.165/15 – entendemos das dificuldades de se conseguir a completa implantação conforme manda a Lei, por isso, próximo item:
2. Voto em cédula de papel com urna de lona em todas as seções eleitorais que não possuírem urnas eletrônicas, por estarem desprovidas de impressora, conforme determina a citada Lei. Tal determinação atende à Resolução de Contingências nº 23.202/10 que trata da substituição das urnas não funcionais por urnas de lona e votação em cédula de papel.
3. O escrutínio dos votos, sejam eles impressos ou cédulas de papel, deverá ser público, atendendo o art. 37 da CF/88 (moralidade, publicidade, cidadania, e ampla fiscalização) também nos termos da lei 9.504/97, artigo 66 e do artigo 192 do Código Eleitoral, todos relacionados com a contagem, cédula por cédula, ou seja, voto a voto, considerando ser absolutamente ILEGAL e IMORAL o escrutínio feito de forma secreta pela própria máquina, como aliás, vem sendo realizado há 20 anos.
4. Que os escrutínios públicos sejam realizados imediatamente após o encerramento do pleito em cada seção eleitoral, em atendimento à Resolução nº 23.399/14, incluindo a respectiva emissão do boletim referente ao citado escrutínio, que deverá ser assinado pelos mesários, fiscais de partido e/ou eleitores que se credenciem, distribuindo-se as vias em no mínimo de 05 (cinco) afixando-se ainda, uma delas em local visível a todos.
5. Que todos os votos devidamente contados e apurados sejam, de forma organizada quanto aos resultados apurados, reintroduzidos nas respectivas urnas de lona ou caixas acopladas às urnas eletrônicas com impressoras acopladas, lacrando-as para eventual recontagem futura, na forma da lei.
Estas são, Sr. Presidente, as considerações da Sociedade Brasileira, hoje representada por dezenas de movimentos civis em coalizão em Convergências, que, como preambularmente citado, exigem tão somente o cumprimento da Lei e da Carta Magna no que tange ao processo eleitoral a ser administrado por este Egrégio Tribunal e seus representantes estaduais e locais.
Aproveitamos para desejar profícua gestão no cargo recém empossado, com que, nos despedimos,

MPF denuncia Sérgia Miranda por fraude na Simcol e deve investigar Caio Asfor
Novembro 27, 2017 Walter Bardawil
Escritórios “Sampaio e Tavares Advocacia e Consultoria” e “Rocha, Marinho e Sales” estariam ligados por meio de laranjas
O Ministério Público Federal (MPF), através do vice-procurador-geral da República, Luciano Mariz Maia, ofereceu ao Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) denúncia crime contra a desembargadora cearense Sérgia Maria Mendonça Miranda por fraude envolvendo a massa falida da Simcol.
Ela despachou liminar e ordenou, indevidamente (em um de seus plantões), o pagamento de cheque no valor de R$ 1.119.932,01 (hum milhão, cento e dezenove mil, novecentos e trinta e dois reais e um centavo) ao escritório “Sampaio e Tavares Advocacia e Consultoria”, que, na época, em maio de 2013, havia prestado serviços advocatícios à empresa.
Além de Sérgia, estão enrolados Frankraley Oliveira Gomes – namorado da desembargadora à época -, Paulo Fernando Mendonça e Cláudia Adrienne Sampaio de Oliveira.

A SIMCOL teria sido também prejudicada, de forma criminosa, através de outra liminar da mesma desembargadora. A empresa foi forçada a efetuar o pagamento de valores altíssimos (superiores a R$ 1 milhão) ao escritório de advocacia “Rocha, Marinho e Sales”, pertencente ao advogado Caio Asfor.
O pagamento se deu por meio de um “laranja” ligado ao escritório “Sampaio, Tavares Advocacia e Consultoria”.
A denúncia foi encaminhada ao ministro do STJ, Herman Benjamin, pelo empresário Gilberto Martins Borges, sócio majoritário e representante da empresa falida.
