Part 2/7:
Moraes has reportedly decided to strip Eustáquio of the political crime allegations linked to his opinions and statements. Instead, he plans to present charges of money laundering and criminal association. This plan raises significant legal issues, as both charges presuppose the existence of an underlying crime. The challenge lies in the fact that without a prior criminal act, these accusations lack substance.
The attempt to redefine these allegations mirrors the failed extradition efforts with Alan dos Santos, and legal experts question the viability of this new strategy. If Eustáquio is accused of money laundering or criminal association, authorities must demonstrate an original crime that leads to these charges, which, currently, does not exist.
