Peixoto was on board with Nunes Marques on a trip to Europe. The aircraft is owned by the lawyer who paid the costs of the flight to the STF Minister. “The lawyer who traveled with the minister got hundreds of millions in fees based on Nunes Márquez’s decisions and precedents,” Vasallo said.

According to the journalist, Vinicius Peixoto “is using a non-profit association to work on behalf of the municipalities in the billion-dollar battle over oil revenues.” The lawyer is the vice president Association of the University Center for Research, Studies and Consultations (NOPIC).

The complaint also highlights that “Peixoto works in partnership with Son of Francisco Falcao [Djaci Falcão Neto]from STJit’s the Louise Fo’s brother-in-law [Hercílio Binato de Castro]from STF. The association operates as a law firm. In practice, you win bids, and pass powers of attorney to the trio of attorneys and their offices.”

The idea is to win contracts without bidding with municipalities, and sue the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP) for framing these municipalities in sharing the royalties. “With this practice, decisions are obtained by the trio using the assembly Transfer of 1.5 billion Brazilian realswill yield 300 million Brazilian riyals fees‘, says the reporter.

On the performance of Casio Nunes Marquez, the journalist highlights:

“Almost all cases will end in TRF-1. Casio voted for the group, also opened important precedents and significantly expanded the range of municipalities that could sue the ANP. The topic has weight and it was mentioned on the STF in the Senate.”

“One of the decisions was awarded to a municipality whose contract with the association associated with Peixoto” was investigated by the representative [Ministério Público] Commented by the Egyptian Chefs Association [Tribunal de Contas]. This city alone paid R$33 million in fees. “The verdict is from 2017,” he continues.

The journalist also noted that Peixoto was the target of Operation Lava Jato and was accused of bribing former Minister of Mines and Energy Edison Lobau. He noted that he was “also convicted of acting in a similar manner with respect to proceeds, using a company called Petrobonus.”

Nevertheless, he remained close to important families in politics and the judiciary. In addition to partnering with ministers’ family members, he is also a partner of a TCE consultant in Rio in an energy company. He concluded that the court rules fairly in the association’s contracts with the municipalities.
