At a hearing on Tuesday (the 7th), former Congressman Eduardo Cunha read a letter to Juiz Sergio Moro. He declares that he has an aneurysm, complains about lack of medical care, and says that those arrested as part of the so-called Car Wash Operation are in danger in the prisons where they are being held.
In the letter, he refers to the investigation as being a political process: "Speak to the authorities who were responsible for the impeachment of our former Brazilian president [Dilma Rousseff] to defend the legality of our country. It isn't my imprisonment that will prevent me from voicing my opinions", he said.
Cunha hand wrote the letter on pages in a notebook, from his cell at the Medical Penal Complex in Pinhais, where he has been held for nearly four months.
Regarding the aneurysm, the former congressman says that he is "suffering from the same condition as that which happened to former first lady Marisa Letícia, a cerebral aneurism".
