Brasil de Fato<\/p>\n
Operation Last Mile, launched by the Brazilian Federal Police on July 11, found out that during the administration of former President Jair Bolsonaro (Liberal Party), the then Minister of the Environment, Joaquim Leite<\/a>, asked that three employees of the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama, in Portuguese) be spied on by the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin, in Portuguese). The espionage case was revealed by UOL<\/a> on Sunday (21).<\/p>\n According to the Federal Police report, there were three attempts by the federal government to obtain personal data about the public servants. Federal Police delegate Rodrigo Augusto de Carvalho Costa, who was Leite’s advisor, was responsible for one of the requests for information about three Ibama agents. His contact was Giancarlo Rodrigues, a sergeant in the Army named in Operation Last Mile as a member of the so-called \u201cparallel Abin<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n On March 28, 2022, Costa asked Rodrigues to \u201cverify the rap sheet\u201d of the three Ibama servants. According to Leite\u2019s former advisor, the request was important because the servants were \u201cbothering his ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n Leite wasn\u2019t the only authority to use the method. In May 2020, during the administration of Ricardo Salles (Liberal Party), Leite\u2019s predecessor at the head of the Ministry of the Environment, an Ibama employee was monitored by the \u201cparallel Abin\u201d using the FirstMile software, which provides information on the geolocation of the person being spied on.<\/p>\n A month earlier, the Ibama employee was dismissed after denouncing illegal mining in the Apyterewa Indigenous Land, in S\u00e3o F\u00e9lix do Xingu, southern Par\u00e1 state. The other two servants, who took part in similar operations, were persecuted internally and suffered administrative sanctions.<\/p>\n UOL informed that it had contacted Abin and former minister Joaquim Leite, but had received no reply about the allegations in the Federal Police report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Three of the institute’s employees were bothering the former minister, Joaquim Leite, who requested info about them<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[1554,35,1359,1475,1505,426],"class_list":["post-182808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-1554","tag-bolsonaro","tag-costa","tag-ibama","tag-para","tag-software"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=182808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182808\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=182808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=182808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=182808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
