With the entry of habeas corpus, the athlete tries to be released from participating in any event in the House, since his summons was approved by the parliamentarians participating in the sports betting CPI on June 6th.
Defense argument to prevent presence in the CPI of sports betting
According to Jovem Pan’s report, the sportsman’s defense alleges that there is already an ongoing investigation in court and that Bauermann’s presence at the CPI of Sports Betting could result in an “illegal embarrassment”.
“In view of the identity of object between the verification made by the Chamber of Deputies and the ongoing judicial process, the summons made by the Parliament, by itself, characterizes a manifest illegal embarrassment’.
After all, he will be asked to testify about the same facts that are imputed to him in the criminal judicial area and, what is worse, even before they pass through the scrutiny of due legal process, which is a great absurdity”, he pointed out.
According to the Federal Supreme Court website, the request has already been forwarded to Minister André Mendonça in the early afternoon of Monday, June 12. However, there has been no analysis of the request to date.
Eduardo Bauermann received a 12-game suspension
