Clarification of the court’s ruling last week is being sought by Mr Mallon’s lawyers, who say the case should not proceed pending that.
The supreme court previously granted an injunction suspending a late 2017 hearing in Rio, during which Mr Mallon and Mr Hickey were expected to testify, pending a decision on the habeas corpus issue. Both were legally obliged to attend the hearing as part of bond contracts signed by each in order to have their passports returned, enabling them to leave Brazil in December 2016.Mr Gomes has repeatedly alleged a “lack of just cause” and has since 2016 lodged several habeas corpus claims locally in Rio, and eventually to the supreme court in Brasilia.
This meant neither man had to travel back to Rio to testify at that time and the hearing remained on ice pending a formal supreme court decision on the habeas corpus issue.
