I'm John Bachelor, Ernesto Arujo and Joseph Umayr to help me with stories that have turned strange.

This one is about a man named Marise, Alexander de Marise.

He is a Supreme Court Justice. His name has been in the news that I've read these last years

because he's been active in asserting what you'd say was extra judicial decisions.

I believe he was involved in the decision to permit Lula de Silva not only to leave jail but also to run for the presidency for the third time. Now he's involved in a man being jailed, Felipe Martinez, and I read from the column by Mary Anastasio Grady,

Felipe Martines, who was a senior advisor to former President Bolsonaro, didn't fly from Brazil to Orlando, Florida on December 30th,

2022.

Yet for months, custom and border protection, an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been claiming he did.

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexander Demeriz is using the Customs and Border Protection

assertion to declare Mr. Martinez a flight risk and whole and Who is Martines and why is he in jail?

Yes, John, this is the key question today in Brazil.

So Morice is one of the key people in the power system that runs Brazil today which comprises

Lula and his left-wing scheme but also comprises the Supreme Court and a good

portion of Congress

a system that runs on corruption,

freeing people

previously arrested for corruption.

Lula is only one among many, many.

And basically, corruption, Lula is only one among many, many.

And basically, taking corruption away from the books as a crime.

So it's normal now in Brazil. And with all the power games that go together that.

And for that they want to, they need to destroy any opposition, not only a Bolsonaro in his group, but that's the most important group of course in the opposition.
