He IS in the Senate; that's why he can only be tried by the Supreme Court, who have such a backlog that crimes often go past their statute of limitation while waiting and the criminal gets off.

That should all change when political immunity for Congressional members - except for the presidents of both Houses - is revoked on May 2nd...

REF: “He IS in the Senate”:

Well, as long as they - Aecio, Maluf & Co - can continue to hold on to their titles, continue to enjoy the “Special Benefits” + the FAT salaries which go with the titles and as long as they do NOT need to return their illicit wealth; they have very little to complain/worry about.

In the 5-Star prisons; their stay usually is very BRIEF. Hence, ALL they have to do is to find a sympathetic ear, FAKE an illness or exaggerate the symptoms of any minor illness and - thanks to Gilmar & Co - they are back in their luxurious homes for good!

REF: “Under Brazilian law”: The laws signed in by the crooks:

Gilmar & Co. have reasons to be considerate & sympathetic; since they [directly & indirectly] and their beloved oranges [associates] are also under investigations and maybe charged - sooner or later. So in turn - when it's THEIR turn - they WILL accept & demand the very same LEGAL considerations to escape with minor/negligible punishments.

In “this” democracy; anything & everything is possible; if one coughs-up sufficient dough and accepts the “Price-Tags” which go with the “services” rendered.
