Justiça veta informações sobre Sarney / Brazil under censorship

Desembargador Dácio Vieira (à esquerda na foto), que determinou censura, é ligado a Sarney e Agaciel.

Judge Dácio Vieira (L), who imposed censorship on one of Brazil's most influent newpapers, "O Estado de São Paulo", prohibiting any comments on Senate president José Sarney and his family - under a torrent of corruption charges -, and his acquaintances, sen. Josè Sarney, mr. Agaciel Maia, former Senate general director, and sen. Renan Calheiros, former Senate president, who resigned under corruption charges.

In a certain aspect, Brazil goes backwards, to practices adopted when ruled by military dictators. It's very likely that higher courts will drop the shameful, unconstitutional measure, but this democratic gap is a bad omen.
