    Buzzi's Defense Seeks Postponement of Sexual Harassment Trial at STJ

    The defense of suspended Justice Minister Marco Buzzi has requested the postponement of his trial at the Superior Tribunal of Justice (STJ), scheduled for August 6, due to insufficient time to prepare his defense. Buzzi is accused of sexual harassment and importuning by two women. The defense argues that the STJ's recess and the ministers' return from vacation make it impossible to schedule meetings with all the ministers before the trial. The trial involves an 18-year-old girl and a former third-party collaborator of Buzzi's office. The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) has requested that Buzzi be held responsible and compulsorily retired with proportional wages.
