Eliana Calmon said there were "bandits in robes" in the Brazilian judiciary — and the Judiciary was never seen the same way again.
The phrase, uttered when she was the National Inspector General of Justice at the National Council of Justice (CNJ), opened an open war with the Brazilian judiciary. Who helped her sustain the clash? And what remained of it?
This episode of the Eliana Project features an excerpt from one of the six interviews that Leonêncio Nossa and Felipe Recondo conducted with the former minister, now a lawyer. Throughout the series, she reconstructs a career that spans the entire justice system: her training, the beginning of her career, her entry into the Public Prosecutor's Office, her arrival in the judiciary, and then at the Superior Court of Justice.
These are stories from within the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, the Federal Justice System, the STJ, the CNJ, and the legal profession — told by someone who lived through each one.
A production of Zarabatana Estúdios and BdeVaca Filmes.
Video direction, photography, mixing and editing: Eduardo Gomes and Octávio Mendes. Editing assistance: Ana Gabriela Castro
