Zavascki Teori

Teori Albino Zavascki (15 August 1948 – 19 January 2017) was a Brazilian judge who served as a Minister of the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil from 29 November 2012 until his death in 2017, having been appointed to the position by President Dilma Rousseff. At the time of his death he was the justice in charge of the trials resulting from Operation Car Wash.

Zavascki was killed in an air disaster in Paraty, Rio de Janeiro on 19 January 2017. Official enquiries into the crash began on 20 January and the cockpit voice recorder was recovered. Four other people on board, including the pilot, were also killed. More than two hundred politicians and business people, including President Michel Temer, were possibly implicated in a graft scheme that Zavascki was investigating.
