00:00On Thursday, Brazil's Superior Electoral Court rejected a request by the Liberal Party an opposition force linked to former President
00:08Jair Bolsonaro.
00:09The party sought evidence to file an electoral lawsuit against President Lula da Silva.
00:14The motion was related to the parade by the Académicos de Nideróin Samba School, which paid tribute to the President
00:20during the Rio de Janeiro Carnival.
00:22Justice Antonio Carlos Ferreira rejected the motion for early disclosure of evidence, arguing that much of the requested information is
00:29public and can be obtained without judicial intervention.
00:32Furthermore, he argued that this mechanism cannot be used as a tool for indiscriminately searching for data to investigate possible
00:38irregularities.
