Intimidation and persecution In the request sent to the court, Tacla Durán highlighted that he already has the status of a protected witness and judicial immunity in Panama, the country with which the MPF made an investigation agreement into the late "Lava Jato". He asked that protection be extended to avoid "possible acts of reprisal or intimidation in Brazilian jurisdiction." He says that he was the target of intimidation by the authorities responsible for conducting investigations, "including outside national borders". He mentions messages obtained by hacker Walter Delgatti in the "leaked jet", which show that the US Department of Justice (DoJ) warned the task force that Duran would be suffering "reprisal and intimidation" from whistleblower Vinícius Veiga Borin.
Borin allegedly intimidated Duran into leaving the US and never returning to Brazil. According to the lawyer, "Lava Jato" did not take any action to protect him in the face of this warning. "We verified that the conduct adopted by the Lava Jato Task Force was always aimed at not allowing the Applicant to return to national territory, in a true extent and characterization of the intimidatory acts reported and denounced by the Ame Special Phone Number Data rican authorities, which is why this claim is necessary ", states the request presented by the lawyer.
