SÃO PAULO - O Tribunal do Júri condenou, após quatro dias de
julgamento em Taubaté, a 134 km de São Paulo, os três médicos acusados
de retirarem órgãos de pacientes ainda vivos. A sentença foi lida por
volta das 21h15m pelo juiz Marco Montemor. Pedro Henrique Masjuan
Torrecillas, Mariano Fiore Júnior e Rui Noronha Sacramento foram
condenados a 17 anos e seis meses de prisão. Eles poderão recorrer da
sentença em liberdade. As informações são do site VNews.
Segundo a acusação, os três são responsáveis pelas mortes dos
pacientes Miguel da Silva, Alex de Lima, Irani Gobbo e José Faria
Carneiro, entre setembro e dezembro de 1986. A história chocou o Vale do
Paraíba, interior de São Paulo, e todo o Brasil na década de 1980. Um
quarto acusado, o neurologista Antônio Aurélio de Carvalho Monteiro,
morreu em maio do ano passado.
Durante o julgamento, o promotor Márcio Friggi disse, na
quarta-feira, que os quatro homicídios foram cometidos para alimentar
uma rede de tráfico de órgãos, "uma central de remessa de órgãos para
ricos em São Paulo", nas palavras dele.
- Na época foram ouvidos os pacientes receptores destes órgãos.
Um deles fala que pagou 100 mil cruzados ao Hospital Oswaldo Cruz, o que
atualmente equivale a R$ 35 mil. E o paciente disse que só estava na
fila de transplante daquele hospital. Outro paciente fala que pagou 200
mil cruzados - disse o promotor, na quarta-feira.
- Não foi montado um programa de transplantes, mas uma central de remessas de órgãos para ricos em São Paulo.
Os médicos faziam parte do corpo de profissionais da Universidade
de Taubaté e realizaram os procedimentos no Hospital Santa Isabel, hoje
Hospital Regional do Vale do Paraíba. Segundo a acusação, eles se
utilizaram de diagnósticos falsos de morte para extrair os rins dos
pacientes para utilizá-los em uma rede de transplante de órgãos. Na
época, os procedimentos foram presenciados por uma enfermeira, que foi
testemunha no processo.
Ao tomar conhecimento, o médico Roosevelt Kalume, na época
diretor do departamento de Medicina da Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau),
denunciou o caso. Segundo ele, as cirurgias foram realizadas sem
autorização, sempre durante a noite e pelos mesmos médicos.
Os acusados continuaram exercendo a profissão por terem sido
absolvidos pelo Conselho Regional de Medicina do Estado de São Paulo
(Cremesp) e pelo do Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM).
Na quarta-feira, o médico Roosevelt Kalume, denunciante do caso,
passou por uma angioplastia no Hospital Regional de Taubaté. Dois dias
antes, após ser ouvido como testemunha de acusação, ele foi internado
com um quadro de taquicardia. Durante um cateterismo, foi descoberto um
problema com uma artéria que estava entupida. O quadro dele é estável,
segundo o hospital, mas ainda não há previsão de alta.
Uma criança de nove anos matou o frentista Luís Augusto dos
Santos após ele tentar esfaquear sua mulher e mãe do menino na noite
desta quarta-feira, 19. Segundo a Secretaria de Segurança Pública, o
crime aconteceu em Cidade Tiradentes, na zona leste de São Paulo.
O garoto disse à polícia que viu Luís Augusto tentando matar sua mãe
com uma faca depois de uma briga. Logo depois, ele teria pegado outra
faca na cozinha e ferido o homem. Luís ainda tentou atingir o garoto,
mas foi impedido por um vizinho que correu para o local após ouvir os
gritos. Mesmo assim, o frentista conseguiu empurrar a criança em direção
à escada.
Luís e sua mulher foram socorridos e levados ao hospital Santa
Marcelina. Ele não resistiu aos ferimentos, mas ela foi medicada e
liberada. A mulher afirmou que não era a primeira vez que ele a ameaçava
com uma faca. Marcela Bourroul Gonsalves

SÃO PAULO - Um grupo armado invadiu um prédio
residencial no Morumbi, zona sul de São Paulo, na manhã desta
quinta-feira, 20. Segundo a Secretaria de Segurança Pública, eles
roubaram cerca de sete apartamentos.
A ação foi possível após um homem se passar por funcionário de uma
empresa que prestaria serviços no local. O porteiro permitiu sua entrada
pois ele estava uniformizado. Após conseguir acesso às dependências do
prédio, o suspeito rendeu o porteiro e chamou os outros assaltantes que
estavam divididos em cinco carros. Eles portavam armas de fogo e
dominaram os moradores.
Foram roubados relógios, celulares, computadores, entre outros
aparelhos eletrônicos, além de grandes quantias de dólares, reais e
ouro. A quantia exata não foi divulgada pela polícia.
As vitimas foram orientadas a comparecer ao 91º DP para fazerem
reconhecimento fotográfico dos suspeitos. O caso será encaminhado ao
Departamento de Investigações sobre o Crime Organizado (Deic).

Former Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi died of wounds suffered on
Thursday as fighters battling to complete an eight-month uprising
against his rule overran his hometown of Sirte, Libya’s interim rulers
said.
“We announce to the world that Qaddafi has been killed at the hands of
the revolution,” Abdel Hafez Ghoga, a spokesman for the National
Transitional Council said.
“It is a historic moment. It is the end of tyranny and dictatorship. Qaddafi has met his fate,” he added.

leader Moamer Kadhafi was allegedly captured in the coastal Libyan city
of Sirte. (Photo by AFP)
Al Arabiya reported that the body of
the deposed Libyan leader had arrived in Misrata and was placed in the
Tunisians’ Market.
Al Arabiya said it would be allowed to film the corpse. The network was
citing its correspondent. Al Arabiya and other networks earlier
broadcast a photograph that the interim government confirmed was the
body of Qaddafi.
Qaddafi’s death, which came swiftly after his capture near Sirte, is the
most dramatic single development in the Arab Spring revolts that have
unseated rulers in Egypt and Tunisia and threatened the grip on power of
the leaders of Syria and Yemen.
“He [Qaddafi] was also hit in his head,” National Transitional Council
official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters. “There was a lot of firing
against his group and he died.”
Saif al-Islam Qaddafi
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi
Meanwhile, Al Arabiya correspondent confirmed the reports about the death of Saif al-Islam Qaddafi.
Al Arabiya earlier reported that there were unconfirmed reports that Saif al-Islam Qaddafi has been arrested as he fled Sirte.
Earlier, Libya’s de facto prime minister Mahmoud Jibril said he had
unconfirmed reports that Saif al-Islam had been tracked down near the
city of Sirte and that his convoy was under attack.
Speaking at a news conference in Tripoli, Jibril confirmed that Muammar
Qaddafi, who ruled Libya for 42 years until August, had been killed
after he was captured in Sirte.
“We confirm that all the evils, plus Qaddafi, have vanished from this
beloved country. I think it’s for the Libyans to realize that it’s time
to start a new Libya, a united Libya, one people, one future,” he said.
He also called on neighboring Algeria to hand over members of Gaddafi's
family who fled there in August. Two of Qaddafi’s sons, his daughter and
his wife are in Algeria.
An anti-Qaddafi fighter said Qaddafi had been found hiding in a hole in
the ground and had said “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot” to the men who
grabbed him.
His capture came within minutes of the fall of Sirte, a development that
extinguished the last significant resistance by forces loyal to the
deposed leader.
Motassim Qaddafi captured
The dead body of Motassim Qaddafi.
Meanwhile, Al Arabiya showed the picture of the dead body of Qaddafi's son Motassim.
The new Libyan government’s television channel broadcast a close-up
picture showing Motassim lying dead on a stretcher in what appeared to
be a hospital.
Motassim’s head was tilted down and his long hair was hanging down from
the stretcher. He was stripped to the waist. The television did not say
where the picture was taken. The information minister with Libya’s
interim government had earlier confirmed to Reuters that Motassim was
dead and had been hiding with his father in Sirte.
Earlier, there were unconfirmed reports that he had been captured alive in Sirte, fighters in the field said.
“Our information from the commanders in the field is that Motassim
Qaddafi has been captured alive in Sirte,” NTC’s information minister,
Mahmoud Shammam, told Reuters.
“We found him dead. We put his body and that of [former defense
minister] Abu Bakr Yunis in an ambulance to take them to Misrata,” said
Mohamed Leith, who had earlier confirmed that Qaddafi had been captured
in his hometown and subsequently died of his wounds.
In the meantime, another NTC commander said that Motassim was found dead
in Sirte. Al Arabiya could not confirm the reports at the time.
Forging a new democratic system
The capture of Sirte and the
death of Qaddafi mean Libya’s ruling NTC should now begin the task of
forging a new democratic system, which it had said it would get under
way after the city, built as a showpiece for Qaddafi’s rule, had fallen.
Qaddafi, wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of
ordering the killing of civilians, was toppled by rebel forces on August
23 after 42 years of one-man rule over the oil-producing North African
state.
NTC fighters hoisted the red, black and green national flag above a
large utilities building in the center of a newly-captured Sirte
neighborhood and celebratory gunfire broke out among their ecstatic and
relieved comrades.
Hundreds of NTC troops had surrounded the Mediterranean coastal town for
weeks in a chaotic struggle that killed and wounded scores of the
besieging forces and an unknown number of defenders.
NTC fighters said there were a large number of corpses inside the last
redoubts of the Qaddafi troops. It was not immediately possible to
verify that information.
Ministro do Esporte deve conversar com Dilma ainda nesta quinta; cúpula do PC do B manifestou apoio integral a Orlando Silva

Orlando Silva: "Reunião com a presidente Dilma é um privilégio"
(Sérgio Lima/Folhapress)
O ministro do Esporte, Orlando Silva, afirmou nesta quinta-feira, após reunião com a cúpula do PC do B,
que está preparado para a conversa que deve ter até o fim do dia com a
presidente Dilma Rousseff sobre sua situação política. “Estou sempre à
disposição, reunião com a presidente Dilma é um privilégio”, afirmou ao
site de VEJA. “Estou sempre preparado para discutir qualquer assunto com
a presidente”. Dilma chega de viagem à Brasília no fim do dia, quando
deve se encontrar com o comunista.
O ministro disse não temer ser demitido diante da suspeita de ter recebido propina na garagem do prédio do ministério, como revelou VEJA: “Estou
muito tranquilo, sereno, confiante”. Orlando Silva disse ainda que
recebeu apoio do partido para continuar à frente do cargo e que seu
trabalho segue normalmente. Ele afirmou, por exemplo, que tem conversado
com a ministra da Casa Civil, Gleisi Hoffmann, sobre assuntos relativos
à Copa do Mundo de 2014. “Conversamos sempre ao telefone sobre temas do
ministério, tarefas que temos em relação à Copa”, disse. “A rotina de
trabalho segue”, completou. Apoio - A reunião da comissão política do PCdoB, que
reúne dirigentes e parlamentares, começou às 9 horas e durou seis horas.
O encontro estava previamente marcado para ocorrer em São Paulo, no
entanto, diante da crise no Esporte, foi transferido para Brasília. Os
comunistas manifestaram apoio integral ao ministro e disseram que a
saída dele neste momento representaria o linchamento da legenda. “A
demissão do ministro implicaria em desmoralização política e ética da
figura do Orlando” disse o secretário do Meio Ambiente da sigla, o
ex-deputado Aldo Arantes. “Não haverá afastamento, nem substituição do
ministro”, afirmou.
Os dois senadores comunistas Vanessa Grazziotin (AM) e Inácio Arruda
(CE) também negaram que o partido discuta nomes para substituir Orlando
Silva. “Não tem a menor hipótese de a legenda escolher outros nomes. O
cargo é da presidente Dilma”, disse Arruda. “Se a presidente Dilma
decidir pela saída, a gente volta, senta e conversa”, completou Vanessa.
De acordo com a senadora, o ministro levará à presidente Dilma
documentos que comprovariam a inocência dele no caso. Ela admitiu
indiretamente, no entanto, temer o conteúdo da gravação que o delator do
esquema, o policial militar João Dias, diz ter em mãos. “A reunião tem
começo, meio e fim. Não adianta trazer só um pedaço da gravação”,
afirmou Vanessa Grazziotin.
O ministro Orlando Silva entrou nesta quinta-feira com uma queixa-crime
na Justiça por calúnia contra o policial militar João Dias. Escândalo - Na edição de VEJA desta semana, João Dias,
responsável por duas entidades que receberam dinheiro da pasta, relatou
que o PCdoB usava os convênios para fazer caixa de campanha. Das verbas
destinadas às ONGs, até 20% eram desviados.
O próprio ministro recebeu uma caixa repleta de dinheiro, de acordo com
uma das testemunhas do caso. Orlando Silva nega todas as acusações e
diz que João Dias é um "bandido" que não tem qualquer credibilidade.
Após o anúncio oficial de que a abertura da Copa do Mundo será em São Paulo, a alegria
tomou conta do estádio de Itaquera, onde Cafu, Ronaldo, Gilberto Kassab
(prefeito de São Paulo), Geraldo Alckmin (governador de São Paulo) e
Andrés Sanchez (presidente do Corinthians) acompanharam o anúncio ao
lado de funcionários da construtora Odebrecht.
Em
entrevista à Rede Globo, o presidente corintiano foi perguntado por
Galvão Bueno qual seria o nome oficial do estádio e Andrés Sanchez
brincou: "por enquanto é Estádio do Corinthians. Se o Galvão fizer um cheque
de R$ 400 milhões pode ser até Estádio Galvão Bueno", se referindo à
intenção do clube de pagar a construção do estádio com o valor dos
naming rights (direito de nome).
Andrés Sanchez brincou com Galvão Bueno e ofereceu o nome do estádio do Corinthians para o narradorAo
lado do presidente do Corinthians, Ronaldo também foi questionado sobre
o nome do estádio e disse que gostaria de ser homenageado, mas alertou,
em tom de brincadeira: "não vou assinar cheque nenhum."

Andrés fala em R$ 400 mi por naming rights e acredita em Itaquerão pronto até setembro de 2013

A Fifa confirmou, nesta quinta-feira, a cidade de São Paulo como sede
da abertura da Copa do Mundo de 2014 e também de uma das semifinais da
competição e nas obras do estádio do Corinthians, em Itaquera, a festa
já estava preparada. Centenas de operários pararam de trabalhar por
alguns minutos para ouvir o anúncio e comemoraram logo depois com as
presenças ilustres do presidente do Corinthians, Andrés Sanchez e do
ex-jogador Ronaldo, membro do Comitê Organizador Local do Mundial.
As
obras do estádio do Corinthians, no entanto, só começaram no fim de
maio deste ano e, de acordo com o cronograma da Copa, deverá ser o
último dos estádios a ser entregue para o Mundial. O prazo dado pela
Fifa é fevereiro de 2014, mas Andrés Sanchez acredita que tudo estará
pronto bem antes disso. Após ter sido feito o anúncio de que a abertura
da Copa seria em São Paulo, o cartola corintiano demonstrou estar
bastante confiante com o andamento das obras em Itaquera.
“A
Fifa deu até fevereiro de 2014, vamos supor dezembro de 2013. Mas até
setembro de 2013 está tudo pronto”, declarou Andrés, em entrevista à TV Globo.
O
comentarista da emissora aproveitou para perguntar a Andrés sobre o
nome do estádio – até hoje, a obra do Corinthians é chamada popularmente
de “Itaquerão”, justamente por não ter uma outra denominação oficial.
Citando o valor dos “naming rights”, o cartola foi sucinto na resposta:
“Se você me der um cheque de 400 milhões, o estádio pode ter até o seu nome”, disse Andrés.
Fifa escancara despreparo do Brasil para Copa do Mundo de 2014
Calendário da Copa das Confederações de 2013, evento teste
do Mundial, será divulgado nesta quinta-feira e terá condicionalidades e
prazos máximos para que os estádios fiquem prontos

Jamil Chade - Correspondente - estadão.com.br
ZURIQUE - A Fifa não conseguirá anunciar o calendário completo da Copa das Confederações, que acontecerá no Brasil em 2013, escancarando a falta de avanço nas obras dos estádios brasileiros. Informações obtidas pelo estadão.com.br
confirmam que no evento desta quinta-feira, em Zurique, a entidade
máxima do futebol revelará apenas uma parcela do calendário, já que não
há garantias de que os estádios necessários para o torneio estejam
prontos para o evento.
Sergio Moraes/Reuters - 21/9/2011
Prazo das obras do Maracanã é visto com desconfiança
As cidades serão mencionadas nas datas respectivas dos jogos, mas com
condicionalidades e prazos máximos para que os estádios fiquem prontos.
O formato encontrado pela Fifa demonstra a desconfiança em relação às
promessas brasileiras. O ministro do Esporte, Orlando Silva, chegou a
anunciar que nove estádios estariam prontos em 2013. Mas o calendário
desta quinta-feira mostrará que isso não é verdade.
Já está definido que Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Fortaleza e Belo
Horizonte serão as sedes da competição de 2013. Recife e Salvador não
estão descartadas, mas é preciso que seus estádios fiquem prontos dentro
do prazo. Porto Alegre, São Paulo, Cuiabá, Natal e Manaus ficaram de
fora. A Fifa teme que até o Maracanã seja excluído, visto que não
considera que os prazos anunciados pelo governador do Rio de Janeiro,
Sérgio Cabral, serão cumpridos. A Copa das Confederações é considerada o
evento teste da Copa do Mundo de 2014 e garante a condição real da
preparação do Brasil para o evento. Atualizado às 13h32 para acréscimo de informação.
Siri’s
an amazing advancement in the way that we interact with out iPhones,
but it doesn’t exactly do everything you want it to do out of the box.
In fact, three conspicuous abilities absent from Siri’s feature set
include the ability to make a Facebook status update, send a message to Google+ or even tweet… doubly absurd given iOS 5”s native Twitter integration.
Don’t worry, though. It’s easy enough to hack any iPhone 4S to Tweet, Facebook or Google+ through Siri. Here’s how.
Techland
gives us a great run down of easy Siri hacks that will get you up and
running with voice control Twitter, Facebook and Google+ in no time:
For
Facebook, text “Hello” to 32665 in the United States (or the short code
for whatever country you’re in), then follow the link in the reply to
finish the setup process. Add the short code to your Contacts, and name
it “Facebook.” That way, you can tell Siri to “send a text to Facebook
saying …”
For Twitter, text “START” to 40404 in the United States
(or the short code for other countries), then respond with your
username, then your password. Add the short code to your Contacts with
the name “Twitter.”
For Google+, visit your settings page and
scroll down to “Set delivery preferences.” Add your cell phone number,
but be sure to click “don’t notify me” if you don’t want incoming
Google+ messages by text. Verify your number with the code you receive
by phone, then add the short code “33669” (in the U.S.) to your contacts
as “Google Plus.” Updates are shared with everyone in your circles.
Techland’s got some other great tips for Siri users, so make sure to go on over and see the whole list.
Muamar Gadafi está muerto. Más de 40 años después de tomar el poder en Libia y tras ocho meses de revolución y guerra contra su régimen dictatorial, el coronel falleció este jueves a manos de los rebeldes en circunstancias aún no aclaradas. "Murió en un ataque de los combatientes. Hay imágenes", aseguró el 'ministro' de Información del Gobierno rebelde, Mahmud Shammam. Sin embargo, una grabación difundida por Al Yazira
muestra al coronel vivo en medio de varios milicianos rebeldes. En el
vídeo, el dictador está herido, pero parece poder caminar sin demasiados
problemas, lo que sugiere que Gadafi podría haber sido ejecutado a
sangre fría.
Su desaparición se produjo el mismo día en que el Consejo Nacional de Transición (CNT) anunció la "liberación" de Sirte,
su ciudad natal, cuya simbólica caída marca el fin de la guerra y el
despegue de la transición hacia la democracia. Habían pasado apenas unos
minutos del anuncio de la caída de esta localidad cuando los
combatientes encontraron a Gadafi escondido. "¡No disparéis, no disparéis!" fue el grito de súplica del tirano a sus captores, de acuerdo con uno de ellos.
El dictador derrocado, de 69 años, falleció poco después de ser capturado. "Hubo un intenso tiroteo contra su grupo y murió", indicó a Reuters el dirigente del CNT Abdel Majid Mlegta.
Sin embargo, aún está pendiente de aclarar si Gadafi realmente falleció
por las heridas que le provocó un bombardeo de la OTAN o si fueron los
rebeldes quienes le dieron el 'tiro de gracia' tras localizarlo. Una
hipótesis que toma fuerza tras las imágenes difundidas por Al Yazira.
Por su parte, la OTAN confirmó que sus aviones dispararon contra un convoy
en las inmediaciones de Sirte, pero no especificó si Gadafi iba a bordo
de uno de los vehículos. El bombardeo tuvo lugar "aproximadamente" a
las 08.30, hora local (06.30 GMT).
El cadáver, expuesto
A primera hora de la tarde, France Presse divulgó una fotografía
tomada con un teléfono móvil que muestra el momento en que Gadafi es
capturado con sangre en su rostro y en su ropa. También
la televisión Al Yazira mostró las imágenes de los combatientes
envolviendo el cuerpo en una manta y zarandeándolo ante la cámara.
De acuerdo con los líderes rebeldes, los restos de Gadafi fueron trasladados a un "lugar secreto" en la ciudad de Misrata por razones de seguridad. Al Yazira y Al Arabiya difundieron versiones contradictorias
sobre el paradero del cadáver: según la primera, se encuentra en una
mezquita; para la segunda, está en un centro comercial en el barrio de
Souq Tawansa.
Un doctor libio que trabaja en Misrata relató a un canal de televisión que Gadafi falleció por las heridas letales de bala que recibió en la cabeza y en el estómago.
En cualquier caso, tal vez nunca se sabrá con exactitud si el tirano
se resistió, si había resultado herido horas antes por la OTAN o si fue
uno de los combatientes quien le disparó, pues los nuevos líderes en
Libia tienen un gran interés de mostrarlo como un cobarde que se escondía en un agujero al igual que lo hizo Sadam Hussein, detenido a finales de 2003 en Irak.
Si hubiera sido 'cazado' vivo, Gadafi podría haberse enfrentado a un juicio ante el Tribunal Penal Internacional (TPI) por ordenar el asesinato de civiles durante las casi cuatro décadas que gobernó el país norteafricano con mano de hierro.
El fin de una era
Aunque el régimen gadafista ya se había dado por derribado antes de morir su líder -este viernes se cumplen dos meses de la caída de Trípoli-,
el fin del conflicto aún dependía simbólicamente de la toma de Sirte
por los combatientes del CNT. La victoria militar llegó al fin este
jueves, después de que las tropas rebeldes atacaran con misiles y fuego de artillería a los leales al dictador que todavía resistían en la ciudad costera.
"Sirte ha sido liberada. Ya no hay más fuerzas de Gadafi",
anunció el coronel Yunus al Abdali, jefe de las operaciones en la mitad
este de Sirte, poco antes de que el tirano fuera capturado.
El presidente del CNT, Mustafá Abdelayil, ha declarado en numerosas
ocasiones que la conquista definitiva de Sirte abriría la vía para el
anuncio de la liberación de la totalidad del territorio libio. A
continuación, los rebeldes deberían formar un Gobierno de transición encargado de dirigir el país hacia la democracia.
Estos dos meses desde la liberación de Trípoli han puesto a prueba los nervios de la heterogénea alianza anti-Gadafi
y de sus aliados árabes y occidentales, que se preguntaban si las
fuerzas del CNT serían capaces de desterrar a los últimos leales a
Gadafi en ciudades como Sirte y Bani Walid.
Celebración en las calles
A la espera de que se dirija a la nación Mustafa Abdel Jalil, líder
del CNT, en ciudades como Trípoli o Bengasi las multitudes han comenzado
a echarse a las calles para celebrar con gritos, bailes y disparos al aire el anuncio de la desaparición de Gadafi.
Gadafi es el primer jefe de Estado al que la Primavera Árabe no sólo le ha costado el poder, sino también la vida. Con más suerte escaparon Ben Ali y Hosni Mubarak. Sobre todo el primero, el más pragmático, quien logró huir de Túnez a Arabia Saudí con unas maletas llenas de dinero.
El egipcio sobrevivió a la revuelta, pero luego tuvo que ser internado
en un hospital y sufrir la humillación de verse ante el juez enjaulado y
postrado en una camilla.
Junto a Gadafi falleció también su quinto hijo, Mutasem, mientras que el segundo, Saif al Islam, fue detenido mientras estaba tratando de huir de Sirte. Otros ilustres fallecidos en la operación son Abu Bakr Yunus Jabr, líder de las fuerzas armadas del régimen derrocado, y Moussa Ibrahim, portavoz de su Gobierno. Además fue capturado Abdullah al Senussi, ex jefe de los servicios secretos, así como otros miembros del Gobierno depuesto.
'PF tomará todas as medidas para o esclarecimento do caso', disse Cardozo. Segundo ele, não há definição sobre se a polícia abrirá novo inquérito.

O ministro da Justiça, Eduardo Cardozo, afirmou nesta quinta-feira (20)
que, se julgar necessário, a Polícia Federal pedirá a quebra dos
sigilos bancário e telefônico do ministro do Esporte, Orlando Silva,
alvo de denúncias de que estaria envolvido em um esquema de desvio de
recursos do ministério. "A Polícia Federal tomará todas as medidas
necessárias para o esclarecimento do fato. Se, na análise da situação,
for necessária medida dessa natureza, será providenciado o pedido ao
Poder Judiciário", afirmou.
Segundo o ministro, serão "investigadas a fundo" as denúncias contra
Orlando Silva feitas pelo policial militar João Dias Ferreira. "A
Polícia Federal age com o rigor da lei, cumprirá o seu papel e pode ter
certeza que a investigação será feita a fundo", disse.
Novo inquérito
Cardozo afirmou também que a PF ainda vai definir se abre um novo
inquérito para apurar as denúncias contra Silva ou se inclui as
informações no inquérito já existente que investiga suspostos desvios no
programa Segundo Tempo, do Ministério do Esporte. O inquérito em curso
tramita no Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) por causa do suposto envolvimento no esquema do governador do Distrito Federal, Agnelo Queiroz, que tem foro privilegiado.
"A Polícia Federal coletou as informações em relação a esse denunciante
[João Dias] e vai analisar a melhor forma de proceder essa
investifgação, seja no inquérito em curso, seja abrindo novo inquérito. A
PF é quem dirá o melhor caminho", disse o ministro. Denúncias
Em entrevista à revista "Veja", João Dias disse que o ministro Orlando
Silva teria recebido um pacote com notas de R$ 50 e R$ 100 na garagem do
ministério.
O policial foi preso no ano passado na Operação Shaolin, deflagrada
pela Polícia Civil do DF para investigar fraudes no programa Segundo
Tempo, destinado a promover o esporte em comunidades carentes. As ONGs
de João Dias, relacionadas ao kung-fu, são suspeitas de desviar R$ 2
milhões de convênios assinados em 2006 com o Ministério do Esporte. Defesa
Em audiência no Senado
nesta quarta, Orlando Silva reiterou que "não houve, não há e não
haverá provas" de seu suposto envolvimento. "Desafio que sejam
apresentadas provas", disse. Afirmou ainda que a denúncias sobre
recebimento de propina é uma tentativa de tirá-lo à força do ministério.
"O que se pretende é tirar um ministro de Estado, do governo, no
grito", declarou.
Orlando negou a existência do esquema e disse que, nos casos em que
foram detectados irregularidades, o ministério solicitou a devolução da
verba. Ele afirmou ainda que o programa Segundo Tempo possui regras,
critérios técnicos, acompanhamento e fiscalização de contas.

A Polícia Federal informou nesta quinta-feira (20) que o policial
militar João Dias Ferreira dispensou, durante depoimento na noite de
quarta (19), oferta de proteção policial. "Ele não pediu e inclusive
dispensou proteção policial", afirmou a assessoria da PF. A informação
contradiz declarações feitas por Dias ao deixar a superintendência da
corporação após prestar depoimento por mais de sete horas.
Autor das denúncias de que o ministro do Esporte, Orlando Silva,
estaria envolvido em um esquema de desvio de recursos do ministério,
Dias disse que o Ministério da Justiça havia concedido a ele proteção policial.
O ministro da Justiça, Eduardo Cardozo, também negou que o PM tenha
solicitado apoio da PF. “A informação que eu tive é que ele não pediu a
proteção policial, que ele dispensou a proteção policial. Se a pessoa
dispensa proteção é porque não se sente ameaçado.”
De acordo com o ministro, se Dias pedir auxílio, ele poderá ser
incluído no programa de proteção à testemunha. “A partir do momento que o
interessado pedir a proteção, podemos incluí-lo no programa de proteção
à testemunha ou deferir outro tipo de proteção”, disse.
Nesta quinta, João Dias pediu para ser recebido pelo procurador-geral
da República, Roberto Gurgel, mas não há confirmação do encontro. O G1 tenta contato com a defesa do policial João Dias. 'Não há crise'O líder do governo na Câmara,
Cândido Vaccarezza, disse que as denúncias sobre o suposto envolvimento
do ministro Orlando Silva em suposto desvio de verbas não causaram uma
crise no governo. “Não teve nenhuma crise, não vamos confundir demissão
de ministro com crise no governo”, afirmou.
Segundo ele, não há crise pois o governo não perdeu votações
importantes no Congresso e a presidente Dilma Rousseff está bem
avaliada. Vaccarezza disse ainda que as denúncias envolvendo Orlando
Silva não vão prejudicar a organização da Copa do Mundo. Denúncias
João Dias Ferreira é o pivô das denúncias contra Orlando Silva,
publicadas em reportagem da revista "Veja" do último fim de semana. Em
entrevista, ele disse que o ministro teria recebido um pacote com notas
de R$ 50 e R$ 100 na garagem do ministério.

O que os oposicionistas entendem por mentira e verdade?
(*) Ucho Haddad – Tido
como país emergente, o Brasil é uma nação cujo cotidiano político é de
fazer inveja ao chamado Terceiro Mundo. Afinal, ações republicanas, não
importam se da situação ou da oposição, são mercadoria em absoluta
extinção. Quando liderava as fileiras da oposição, o Partido dos
Trabalhadores fazia exatamente o que seus atuais adversários têm feito
de maneira infantil e irresponsável. Pegam carona na primeira nesga de
escândalo que aparece no cenário político, como se esse tipo de situação
pudesse solucionar as recorrentes mazelas de um país com dimensões
continentais.
A diferença entre um período e outro está na capacidade de
mobilização da esquerda verde-loura, que por ocasião do diminuto
escândalo envolvendo o então presidente Fernando Collor de Mello, por
exemplo, mobilizou o País e colocou nas ruas os agora silenciosos
“caras-pintadas”.
Como sempre digo e escrevo, mas não canso de repetir, exigir
coerência no mundo político é a mais árdua e insana tarefa que um
incauto bem intencionado pode enfrentar ao longo da vida. Entre o
candidato que abocanha votos nas urnas e o político no exercício do
mandato há uma extensa e abissal diferença. Até porque, política é um
negócio rico e próspero, conforme provam os custos das campanhas
eleitorais.
Como se fosse pouco o diuturno vilipêndio à cidadania, os políticos
simplesmente ignoram a capacidade de raciocínio da massa pensante do
País. De costas para aqueles que os elegeram, os políticos flanam na
tese boquirrota que garante que a pedra que estilhaça a vidraça do
vizinho não serve para quebrar a própria janela. Em outras palavras,
vale o dito popular do “faça o que eu digo, mas não faça o que eu faço”.
Em 2005, quando eclodiu o escândalo que ficou nacionalmente conhecido
como “Mensalão do PT”, algo que os petistas até hoje negam de pés
juntos, os partidos de oposição tiveram nas mãos a oportunidade de
interromper o período que passaria para a História como o mais corrupto
de todos os tempos no universo político brasileiro. À época, José
Eduardo Cavalcanti de Mendonça, também conhecido por Duda Mendonça, o
marqueteiro palaciano que levou o PT ao poder central, disse a quem
quisesse ouvir que recebera em conta bancária no exterior parte dos
honorários da campanha de Luiz Inácio da Silva, engodo que foi vendido à
opinião pública como salvador da pátria.
Caminhando com chinelos rasteiros e mambembes, mas com a eterna
sensação que o salto alto da soberba proporciona, a oposição preferiu
descartar a chance derradeira de salvar o País, colocando em cena a
teoria ficcionista da governabilidade. Apostaram no sangramento político
de Lula da Silva, ao mesmo tempo em que esqueceram que Fernando
Henrique Cardoso se reelegeu por ter a máquina federal ao seu dispor. E
Lula, que de inventivo nada tem, copiou a estratégia do antecessor e
também bisou no Palácio do Planalto.
De lá para cá, muitos foram os escândalos que emolduraram a passagem
do PT pelo Planalto Central, sem que a oposição, que ora jaz por conta
de sua visão míope, tivesse feito algo positivo para mudar o status quo.
Como qualquer ditadura moderna, que troca a truculência física pelo
compartilhamento criminoso, o Brasil é hoje uma capitania hereditária
comandada por ladrões que gozam de impunidade enquanto dispensam apoio
genuflexo e obediente aos donos do poder.
O mais novo escândalo de corrupção do governo de Dilma Rousseff, que
envolve o comunista Orlando Silva Jr., ministro do Esporte,
transformou-se, como era de se esperar, na tábua de salvação dos
agonizantes adversários do Palácio do Planalto. Reunida oficiosamente
com o delator do esquema de desvio de recursos do “Programa Segundo
Tempo”, a oposição transformou o policial João Dias Ferreira em uma
espécie de “pop star” de ocasião. Em discursos manchados pela tinta do
papel carbono, muitos oposicionistas repetem a mesma teoria. É
antidemocrático desqualificar um denunciante, nesse caso o policial
militar do Distrito Federal.
Mesmo diante das denúncias ainda não comprovadas de João Dias
Ferreira, que parece querer chamar para si holofotes e microfones,
concordo, com ressalvas, que é temeroso desqualificar uma testemunha que
se apresenta como mosqueteiro tupiniquim. À oposição não importa o fato
de João Dias Ferreira ter concordado em pagar propina em valor menor do
que o cobrado, nem mesmo a mansão milionária que o policial tem nos
arredores de Brasília, tampouco os carros de luxo que o delator esconde
na garagem do seu doce lar. O que importa aos oposicionistas é que João
Dias Ferreira pode ser uma espécie de Dartagnan moderno contra o projeto
totalitarista que emana das coxias palacianas.
Pois bem, Dias Ferreira denunciou aos bolhões e continua prometendo
um golpe fatal para os próximos dias, mas até agora não trouxe a lume as
provas que alega ter. E deve tê-las, mesmo, pois ninguém seria insano
ao ponto de fazer tais denúncias sem as devidas e necessárias provas. No
caso do policial-delator prevalece a máxima chula do Direito
brasileiro, uma espécie de axioma da Botocúndia, que garante que em caso
de acusação as provas cabem ao acusado, não ao acusador.
Esse comportamento anti-republicano da oposição não causa espécie,
pois em tempos de guerra qualquer buraco é uma trincheira. Contundo, é
preciso que a oposição se esforce ao máximo para manter, se não a
coerência, a isonomia no tratamento das denúncias que pululam pelo
Brasil afora. Em São Paulo, terra dos bravos bandeirantes, onde os
adversários do Palácio do Planalto são a situação, quem denuncia sem
provas é tratado como foragido de hospício.
Deputado estadual pelo PTB, Roque Barbiere jura, com todas as letras e
a ajuda de todos os santos, que muitos parlamentares comercializam
emendas ao orçamento estadual. Engana-se quem pensa que Barbiere
inventou a roda ou descobriu a pólvora. A venda de emendas parlamentares
é prática comum no mundo político. Se não acontece de forma pontual,
certamente acontece na entrada ou na saída. E para que não pairem
dúvidas sobre o tema vou às explicações. O financiador da campanha de um
determinado político pode ter sua compensação em uma emenda futura. O
que configura mercantilismo antecipado, pois alguém investe antes para
auferir lucros posteriormente.
Em outro vértice do truque, a emenda pode ser negociada horas antes
de ser apresentada. Trata-se de crime pontual, feito às pressas e sobre
um balcão sempre enodoado pela lama da corrupção. Em ponta distinta, não
afoita, a emenda pode se transformar em uma espécie de cornucópia
retardada. Se aprovada, a emenda sofre modificações na sua efetivação.
Na execução de uma obra prevista em determinada emenda, a qualidade do
serviço é escandalosamente minimizada para atender aos interesses
financeiros dos bandidos envolvidos na fraude. Temos, então, uma tramóia
postergada.
Crimes políticos à parte, a mim não cabe outra incumbência que não a
de perguntar à oposição se o que é verdade em Brasília passa por mentira
em São Paulo. E aproveito a oportunidade para questionar esses oráculos
do Criador por qual razão o policial-delator João Dias Ferreira é
tratado como são, enquanto o deputado Roque Barbiere é considerado
louco.
Sempre lembrando que cá não estou a defender um ou outro, mas, sim,
para, mantendo a coerência, cobrar isonomia em ambos os casos. Até
porque, chumbo trocado não dói.
Em jogo de cartas marcadas, FIFA confirma a abertura da Copa de 2014 para a cidade de São Paulo
Era esperado– Secretário-executivo da FIFA, Jérôme Valcke
acaba de anunciar as cidades brasileiras que sediarão o jogo de
abertura e a final da Copa do Mundo de 2014. Ao lado de Ricardo
Teixeira, presidente da CBF, Valcke informou que o jogo de abertura será
na cidade de São Paulo, confirmando as expectativas, mas contrariando a
lógica. A final da Copa será mesmo no Rio de Janeiro, como anunciado
anteriormente, no Estádio Mário Filho, o popular Maracanã.
O executivo da FIFA revelou também que as semifinais serão disputadas
em São Paulo e em Belo Horizonte, enquanto a disputa pelo terceiro
lugar acontecerá em Brasília, cidade que reúne totais condições para
sediar a abertura da competição, mas que por questões políticas perdeu a
disputa para a capital paulista.
Perguntado por qual razão as cidades São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro foram
escolhidas para receber, respectivamente, os jogos de abertura e
encerramento da Copa, Ricardo Teixeira destacou o potencial econômico de
ambas e questões logísticas e de transportes de ambas as metrópoles.
Quem bem conhece o Rio e São Paulo sabe que as palavras do presidente da
CBF se esvaem como éter no ar, pois as capitais paulista e fluminense
são reféns de um trânsito caótico e pecam pela falta de transporte
público minimamente eficiente.
Gaddafi blamed the uprising against his rule on both al-Qaeda and a 'colonialist plot'
After 42 years at the helm of his sparsely populated, oil-rich
nation, Muammar Gaddafi - the Arab world's longest-ruling leader - lost
his grip on power after a six-month uprising.
Since he lead a successful military coup in 1969, Gaddafi styled
himself as Libya's "brother leader" and the "guide of the revolution",
as an almost paternal figure looking after Libya's six million
inhabitants.
His relationship with the rest of the world was erratic. For years,
Gaddafi was known in the West as a pariah, blamed for the 1988 bombing
of a Pan Am jumbo jet over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people.
After years of denial, Libya acknowledged responsibility and agreed to
pay up to $10m to relatives of victims; Gaddafi also declared he would
dismantle all weapons of mass destruction.
Those moves eased him back into the international community.
In February, one week into the uprising, Gaddafi vowed to die as a "martyr" on Libyan soil
In February, only weeks after street protests brought down the
leaders of Tunisia and Egypt, a rebellion against Gaddafi's rule started
in the country's east.
Days after it began, Gaddafi gave a televised speech
in which he vowed to hunt down protesters "inch by inch, room by room,
home by home, alleyway by alleyway". The speech caused anger, helping
to fuel the armed rebellion against him. Early days
Gaddafi was born in 1942 in the coastal area of Sirte to nomadic
parents. He attended Benghazi University to study geography, but dropped
out to join the army.
The deposed leader came to power in 1969 at the age of 27 after leading a bloodless coup against King Idris.
After seizing power, he laid out a political philosophy based on
pan-African, pan-Arab and anti-imperialist ideals, blended with aspects
of Islam. While he permitted private control over small companies, the
government controlled the larger ones.
The Libyan leader was an admirer of the Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel
Nasser and his Arab socialist and nationalist ideology. As a strong
member of the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War era, Gaddafi
tried to mold the Libyan political system in a way which he said was an
alternative to both capitalism and communism.
Gaddafi played a prominent role in organising Arab opposition to the 1978 Camp David peace agreement between Egypt and Israel.
Later shunned by a number of Arab states, partly on the basis of his
views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Gaddafi's foreign policy
focus shifted from the Arab world to Africa.
The Libyan ruler argued for the creation of a "United States of
Africa" - an idea first conceived by US pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey -
in which the continent would include "a single African military force, a
single currency and a single passport for Africans to move freely
around the continent"
He also supported membership among countries in other parts of the
world whose citizens are mostly part of the African diaspora, including
Haiti and Jamaica.
The project did not pan out, although some of its ideas influenced
the African Union, which was created in 2002. Gaddafi served as chairman
of the African Union from 2009 to 2010.
A 2008 meeting of African monarchs proclaimed Gaddafi the continent's "king of kings". Crushing dissent
In 1977 he changed the country's name to the Great Socialist Popular
Libyan Arab Jamahiriyah (State of the Masses) and allowed people to air
their views at public congresses.
Some critics defined his rule as a military dictatorship, accusing
him of repressing civil society and ruthlessly crushing dissidence. The
regime has imprisoned hundreds of people for violating the law and
sentenced some to death, according to Human Rights Watch.
At the UN General Assembly in 2009, Gaddafi accused the body of being a terrorism group like al-Qaeda [EPA]
Lockerbie bombing
Gaddafi maintained a position of anti-imperialism throughout his
rule, supporting independence movements against colonial rule around the
world. He allegedly gave material support to groups labelled
"terrorists" by numerous wealthy countries, including Colombia's FARC
and Northern Ireland's IRA.
Libya's alleged involvement in the 1986 bombing of a Berlin nightclub
in which two American soldiers were killed prompted US air attacks on
Tripoli and Benghazi, killing 35 Libyans. Ronald Reagan, then the US
president, called him a "mad dog".
The 1988 Pan Am bombing over Lockerbie is possibly the most
well-known and controversial incident associated internationally with
Gaddafi.
For many years, Gaddafi denied involvement, resulting in UN sanctions
and Libya’s status as a pariah state. Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, a Libyan
intelligence agent, was convicted of planting the bomb. In 2003,
Gaddafi's regime formally accepted responsibility for the attack and
paid compensation to the families of those who died.
Gaddafi also broke Libya's isolation from the West in the same
year by relinquishing his entire inventory of weapons of mass
destruction.
In September 2004, George W Bush, the US president at the
time, formally ended a US trade embargo as a result of Gaddafi's
scrapping of the arms programme and taking responsibility for Lockerbie.
The normalisation of relations with Western powers allowed the Libyan
economy to grow, and the oil industry in particular benefited.
However, Gaddafi and Lockerbie came back into the spotlight in 2009,
when al-Megrahi was released from a Scottish prison on the grounds that
he was terminally ill and was nearing death. He returned to Libya to a
hero's welcome from Gaddafi and many Libyans, sparking condemnation by
the US and the UK, among others.
In September 2009, Gaddafi visited the US for his first appearance at the UN General Assembly.
His speech was supposed to last 15 minutes, but ended up lasting over
an hour. He tore up a copy of the UN charter, accused the Security
Council of being a terrorist body similar to al-Qaeda, and demanded
$7.7tn in compensation to be paid to Africa by its past colonial rulers.
During a visit to Italy in August 2010, Gaddafi's invitation to
hundreds of young women to convert to Islam overshadowed the two-day
trip, which was intended to cement the growing ties between Tripoli and
Rome. Libyan rebellion
Inspired by uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, Libyans began to hold
protests against his regime in the eastern city of Benghazi in February
of this year.
Gaddafi used military force to quell demonstrations, but the protests
escalated into an all-out armed conflict, with NATO-led forces
intervening.
On June 27, the brutal actions of the Libyan government were referred to the International Criminal Court, which issued arrest warrants for Gaddafi, one of his sons and his spy chief on charges of crimes against humanity.
Gaddafi repeatedly blamed the unrest on al-Qaeda and a "colonialist
plot". He called those opposed to him "rats", and alleged that they had
been influenced by "hallucinogenic drugs". In his last address before
rebels entered Tripoli, he accused "Western intelligence" of "working
with al-Qaeda to destroy Libya".
On October 20, an NTC official reported that Gaddafi had been killed near Sirte after fighters liberated the deposed leader's hometown.
Footage obtained by Al Jazeera appeared to show Libyans dragging the body of their former leader through the streets.

17:20 It was reported earlier in a statement from Libya's charge
d'affairs in London (15:40) that several of Gaddafi's aides
travelling in his convoy at the time of the ambush were captured, it has now
been confirmed by the NTC that 17 have been taken by the forces and their

17:15 French President Nicolas Sarkozy has hailed the death as a
major step forward for the people of Libya and urged the country to pursue
democratic reforms. France took a leading role in the UN intervention in
Libya, strongly supporting a no-fly zone . He said:
The disappearance of Moamer Kadhafi is a major step forward in the battle
fought for more than eight months by the Libyan people to liberate
themselves from the dictatorial and violent regime imposed on them for more
than 40 years. 17:10 According to various reports from rebels, Gaddafi's last words
before he was shot were: "What do you want, what do you want?"
16:55 The moment US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, learns
the news of Gaddafi's death - on an aide's Blackberry. Almost the same look

dead by Navy Seals. She's heard saying "wow!"
16:50 Nato member states are to meet tomorrow to decide on ending the
military campaign, the
Guardian's Julian Borger reports. He just received this comment from a
Nato official:
A military assessment of the current situation in Libya and a recommendation
for the wrapping up of the Nato operation is on its way to Nato HQ. This
will most likely prompt a special meeting of the North Atlantic Council
tomorrow to consider the recommendation and decide on the future of the
current mission. 16:47 The man on the right of the picture below is 20-year-old Mohammedel-Bibi, who is thought to have been the one who actually killed

Hitler".
16:35 Dr Jim Swire, whose daughter Flora died in the 1988 Lockerbie
bombing, tells Sky News Gaddafi's death means an "opportunity has been
lost" to find out the truth about the atrocity.
Speaking from Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire, Dr Swire told Sky News: "There
is much still to be resolved about that issue and Gaddafi, whether he was
involved or not, might have been able to clear up a few points about that
and now that he is dead we may have lost an opportunity for getting nearer to the truth. I would have loved to have seen Gaddafi appear in front of the
International Criminal Court both to answer charges against his gross
treatment of his own people and of citizens murdered abroad by his thugs. But I would also have loved to have heard about what Gaddafi knew about the
Lockerbie atrocity. But everybody looking at this situation should be glad
that it probably hails an end to the gross violence in that country. 16:30 Our resident Middle East expert, Con Couglin, pulls no
punches, saying Gaddafi deserved his death in a Libyan sewer – he
had all the morality of a sewer rat.He writes:
I can't think of a better way for Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to meet his end
than to be gunned down in a Libyan sewer. It is a fitting end to the career
of a man who presided over one of the most murderous and violent regimes of
the modern age, and had all the morality of a sewer rat. This was a man whose hands were drenched in the blood of his innocent
victims. We in Britain will remember his role in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing,
which killed 270 people, and the stockpiles of Semtex explosives he happily
provided to the IRA, which accounted for the deaths and maiming of hundreds
more victims. 16:25 NTC latest: They confirm Gaddafi's son Mutassim is dead,
and say his other son Saif is desperately trying to flee the city: "Saif
al-Islam is trying to flee Sirte in a small convoy. Our fighters are

16:22 The National Transitional Council declare Gaddafi is dead:
16:20 UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon: This is only the end of the

Libyans to come together, combatants on all sides must lay down their
weapons to achieve peace."
He also said a new UN mission to Libya is on the ground and ready to assist
the people.
16:16 Jibril also called on neighbouring Algeria to hand over members
of Gaddafi's family who fled there in August. Two of Gaddafi's sons, his
daughter and his wife are known to be hiding out there.

addressed at a news conference in Tripoli, where he confirmed Gaddafi, who
ruled Libya for 42 years until August, had been killed after he was captured
in Sirte.
"We confirm that all the evils, plus Gaddafi, have vanished from this
beloved country. I think it's for the Libyans to realise that it's time to
start a new Libya, a united Libya, one people, one future," he said.
16:10 Reuters are also reporting that Gaddafi's fifth son Mutassim
was killed while trying to fight off captors, according to an NTC spokesman.
It now appears that members of Gaddafi's loyal entourage were ambushed ealry
this morning in SIrte, with the Libyan charge d'affairs in London suggesting
up to 20 of the dictator's "senior supporters" have been captured

15:55 Labour leader Ed Miliband says the death of Gaddafi marks
the end of a tragic period in Libyan history. He has just released this
statement:
The death of Colonel Gaddafi marks the end of a tragic period in Libyan
history marked by brutality and repression. I pay tribute to the Libyan people for standing up to the former regime and
seeking to define their own democratic destiny. We should be proud of the
support that our armed forces have given to that cause. We should all hope that this day also marks the end of the armed conflict
and the start of a period of stability where we see a transition to
democratic government. Britain should stand ready to continue to help the National Transitional
Council as it seeks to improve economic and social conditions, ensure order
and prepare for elections. 15:50 PM David Cameron, speaking outside No. 10, confirmed and welcomed
the news of Gaddafi's death, saying:
I think today is a day to remember all of Colonel Gaddafi's victims, from
those who died in connection with the Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, to
Yvonne Fletcher in a London street, and obviously all the victims of IRA
terrorism who died through their use of Libyan semtex. We should also
remember the many, many Libyans who died at the hands of this brutal
dictator and his regime. People in Libya today have an even greater chance after this news of
building themselves a strong and democratic future. I am proud of the role
that Britain has played in helping them to bring that about and I pay
tribute to the bravery of the Libyans who helped to liberate their country.
We will help them, we will work with them and that is what I want to say
today.
15:40 Libyan charge d'affair Mahmoud al-Naku is speaking outside
the Libyan Embassy iin London, he says:
A black era has come to an end forever, the Libyan people are looking
forward to a promising future where they finally start building their free
democractic state for which they have fought for eight months now. Our
people have paid a high price, about 40,000 martyrs have given their lives.
We appreciate the help of the international community to get rid of Gaddafi
and his crimes. It is not important whether he faces trial or whether he is
alive or dead. I can confirm he is dead, and now the NTC will move him to Misrata, where
he killed many people. His end is in Misrata. They have captured between 17
and 20 of his senior supporters. 15:38 Channel 4 News's Jonathan Rugman is reporting that
Gaddafi's son Saif has been killed:

hugs and handshakes against a backdrop of intense celebratory gunfire.
"We finished Kadhafi and his people," shouts fighter Ali Urfulli. "We
have taken revenge. Let him go to hell."
15:02 Senior US Senator John McCain has that the death of
Gaddafi marks the end of "the first phase" of Libya's revolution
and called for closer ties between Washington and Tripoli.
"The death of Moamer Kadhafi marks an end to the first phase of the
Libyan revolution. While some final fighting continues, the Libyan people
have liberated their country," the Republican lawmaker said in a
statement.

picture is reminicent of those which showed rebel forces posing with war
booty from his compound in Tripoli a few months earlier.
. 14:34 Let's recap all reports of deaths and captures. Just to be clear,
none have yet been independently verified:
Muammar Gaddafi: Dead - NTC officials
Mutassim Gaddafi, Col Gaddafi's fifth son: Dead - NTC officials
Moussa Ibrahim, Gaddafi's spokesman: Captured - NTC officials
Abu Bakr Yunis, former defence minister: Killed in Gaddafi's convoy -
NTC officials
Ahmed Ibrahim, Gaddafi's cousin and adviser: Captured. - Mlegta.
Mansour Daw, Gaddafi aide: Captured. - Libya TV
14:33 Sky News is reporting that his best-known son, Saif, who was
wrongly reported as captured earlier in the year, is still at large in the
southern Libyan desert.
14:28 Mutassim, the fifth son of Gaddafi and a former Libyan Army
officer, has been found dead in Sirte, according to NTC commander on AFP.
14:26 Here is the last recorded appearance of Gaddafi, who was seen on
state TV playing chess:
14:25 Libyan NTC military official confirms photo of apparently dead
man shown on TV networks was that of Muammar Gaddafi.
14:20 Our Middle East correspondent Richard Spencer says
Al-Hurra TV (Freedom TV), the TV station set up in Qatar by rebels early on
in the uprising, is reporting that the former Libyan leader's son Mutassim
Gaddafi has been captured in Sirte.
It wouldn't be the first time that he has been reported taken, so it is worth
being cautious. But rebels always said he was there, and it would make
sense. Mutassim was the rival to Saif al-Islam as a future successor to his
father, and was his National Security Adviser. A photo of him meeting
Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, a couple of years back was among the
more memorable images of the Mafia-like appearances the family liked to don. 14:15 Our reporter in Sirte, Ben Farmer, is thought to be the
only Western newspaper journalist who has been to the site Gaddafi was said
to have been captured, has this new detail:
Colonel Gaddafi was finally cornered in a drain underneath a road in open
countryside to the west of the city of Sirte. Rebels said a column of
vehicles tried to punch out of an encirclement at dawn. They parked up
around 3-4kms west of the town, which was hit by a NATO airstrike. Gaddafi
and several bodyguards were then forced to take refuge in the drain where
they were then captured and taken away by revolutionary forces. The underground drain where Gaddafi is believed to have been discovered.

the world that Kadhafi has been killed at the hands of the revolution. It is
an historic moment. It is the end of tyranny and dictatorship. Kadhafi has
met his fate," he added.

tells Sky News he hit him with his shoe (one of the worst insults in the
Islamic faith). He was reportedly shot once in the head and once in each
leg.
13:54 NTC spokesman Abdel Hafiz Ghoga also now confirming the
former leader's death.
13:52 If reports are found to be true that Gaddafi was found in
a hole underground in District 2 in his hometown of Sirte, the similarities
to the capture of Saddam Hussein are unavoidable. The Iraqi dictator
was discovered in a small, underground hole concealed next to farm buildings
near the his own hometown of Tikrit. He had been hiding out for months with
a handful of his most loyal aides.
13:47 If Gaddafi is dead, that solves the problem of the trial – butwe
may never learn the truth about Lockerbieand other crimes, writes
Telegraph commentator Daniel Knowles:
If the reports of Gaddafi's death are true (and they may not be: the US
cannot even confirm his capture yet), it will make some things easier
between the Libyans and their Western allies. It solves the problem of where
he will be tried, and by whom. If he is still alive, we have months of
wrangling and undignified negotiation yet to come, and – notwithstanding the
assurances above – the prospect of a Saddam Hussein-style show trial. On the
other hand, if he is alive we also stand a greater chance of finally
establishing the truth about Lockerbie, the killing of WPc Yvonne Fletcher
and many other crimes. Either way, the end of this man's brutal dictatorship
has arrived, and not before time. 13:44 Official confirmation from NATO on an attack by their aircraft on
a pro-Gaddafi this morning: "At approximately 0830 local time (GMT+2)
today, NATO aircraft struck two pro-Kadhafi forces military vehicles which
were part of a larger group manoeuvring in the vicinity of Sirte,"
spokesman Colonel Roland Lavoie said in a statement.
13:38 Telegraph Middle East correspondent Richard Spencer says
if the reports are true, Col
Gaddafi has at least been true to his word:
he always said he would die on Libyan soil.
Credit where credit is due: Gaddafi had chutzpah, as we knew, and showed
it by placing himself like Napoleon at Waterloo at the heart of the final
battle. He also had courage - a mad courage, perhaps, but it must have taken
something for a 27-year-old to seize power for himself back in 1969 and he
did not flinch at the end. On the other hand, Gaddafi was also wrong about one thing. Like many
dictators, he reassured himself, when he was under attack from western
democratic leaders, that the political system they promoted ensured their
own political demise. Whatever they said about him didn't matter since their
electors would kick them out shortly anyway. 13:37 NTC official Mohamed Abel Kafi tells Reuters the body of
Gaddafi is now being taken to a secret location in Misrata for security
reasons. Again, not independently confirmed.
13:27 The following photograph purports to show MuammerGaddafi
badly wounded and has been obtained by AFP news agency. The image has been
captured off a mobile phone camera by French photographer Philippe Desmazes
for Getty.
13:26 Gaddafi's killing came swiftly after his capture near Sirte,
Reuters reports:
He (Gaddafi) was also hit in his head. There was a lot of firing against his
group and he died. 13:25 A senior Obama administration official has said that US
authorities were trying to confirm whether the deposed Libyan leader had
been killed or captured.
13:18 Former state TV channel Al-Libiya has just run a broadcast
which outright denied reports of the despot's death: "The reports peddled
by the lackeys of NATO about the capture or death of the brother leader,
Moamer Kadhafi, are baseless. Gaddafi is in good health."
13.14 Read aprofile
of the 'Mad Dog' dictator, who was reportedly killed in Sirte today:
Branded "mad dog" by Ronald Reagan, the outlandish antics,
flamboyant dress and bombastic pronouncements of the self-styled "Brother
Leader" at times made him seem a figure of ridicule. During his travels abroad he was accompanied by a blonde Ukrainian nurse
and insisted on staying in his Bedouin tent, protected by his team of
glamorous, gun-toting female bodyguards. 13:12 NTC official Abdel Majid Mlegta has told Reuters that
Gaddafi was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn this morning as he
tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked.
"He was also hit in his head," the official said. "There was a
lot of firing against his group and he died."
13:11 NTC Leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil is due to address the
Libyan nation "shortly", according to Free Libya TV station.
13:07 The Telegraph's foreign correspondent, Ben Farmer - the
only UK newspaper journalist in Sirte, describes the celebrations among NTC
soldiers as the final Gaddafi stronghold is taken.
13:02 A soldier who said he captured Gaddafi himself has told a BBC the
colonel shouted "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" after he was
discovered hiding in a hole in District 2 in Sirte. The soldier reportedly
brandished Gaddafi's golden pistol after his capture.
12:58 Here is atimeline
of the Libyan uprising, from the arrest of human rights activist
Fethi Tarbel starting a riot in Benghazi on Feb 15 through to reports today
that Gaddafi has been killed after Sirte was liberated.
12:56 A pro-Gaddafi television website denied reports that the
strongman had been killed or captured. Al-Libiya television website said:
The reports peddled by the lackeys of Nato about the capture or death of the
brother leader, Muammar Gaddafi, is baseless. 12:53 Reuters reporting Gaddafi dies of wounds suffered in
capture near Sirte - senior NTC military official.
12:51 According to a Libyan commander, Gaddafi's mouthpiece and
face of the regime Moussa Ibrahim, has also been captured.
12:49 Ben Farmer in Sirte reports:
Scenes of wild jubilation in the centre of Sirte at news that Gaddafi has been
captured. People are firing in the air. Gaddafi is reportedly being taken to Misurata in a convoy. Abu Bakr Yunis,
defence minister has apparently been killed and Gaddafi's chief of security
forces since the start of the uprising has been badly wounded. 12:48 Libyan revolutionary forces aren't waiting for confirmation of
Gaddafi's capture before they start celebrating in Sirte following the fall
of the city:
12:48 Russian Presidet Medvedev has said "Gaddafi's fate should be
decided by Libyan people."
12:50 Pro-Gaddafi TV channels denying the leader's death.
12:45 Non-NTC sources have confirmed to Sky News that Gaddafi has been
captured and still alive, but in a critical condition.
12:41 Al Arabiya sources saying the "dead body of Gaddafi" is
being taken to Misurata by revoluntionary forces. It is important to
remember, all reports so far are not confirmed independently, and deaths of
members of the former leader's family have previously been wrong.
12:35 A Libyan government fighter is being quoted by Reuters as saying Gaddafi
was found hiding in a hole in Sirte, shouting "Don't shoot, don't shoot". 12:35 There are wild scenes of celebration in Sirte, however, no
independent confirmation has yet been given.
12:30 NTC sources who claim to have seen the wounded Gaddafi say
he was captured wearing a Khaki uniform and a turban.
12:28 If the rumours are true, it would confirm the theory that Gaddafi
has been hiding out near his hometown of Sirte for the last few weeks even
as fighting intensified in the battle to take the city.
12:27 Sky News reporting that the former leader of Libya has been taken
by revoluntionary forces and wounded in both legs.
12:25 Foreign news agency AFP are also reporting that Gaddafi
has been captured, according to the an NTC commander and Libya TV.
Libyan fighters celebrate on the streets of Sirte 12:06 Reports that Gaddafi's defence minister Abu Bakr Yunis has
been killed.
11:20Ben Farmer on the scenes of celebration in the centre of
Sirte:
Civilians, whose city has been under siege since Gaddafi was removed from
power at the end of August, were making their way to the centre to
celebrate. The Telegraph, witnessing scenes in the centre of the city siad
there were scens of relief, jubilation and intense celebratory gunfire among
National Transitional Council (NTC) forces. The new national flag was raised above a large utilities building in the
Mediterranean city, which had been under siege for nearly two months. 11:00 Col Yunus Al Abdali, head of operations in the eastern half of
the city says:
Sirte has been liberated. There are no Gaddafi forces any more. We are now chasing his fighters who are trying to run away. 10:45Ben Farmer, who is in the centre of Sirte reports:
In the early hours of the morning, at least five cars carrying loyalist
fighters attempted to escape the city, but most were rounded up and killed
by revolutionaries. Libyan
rebels then moved into the city's Number Two residential neighbourhood,
which was the last pocket of pro-Gaddafi resistance left in the war-torn
country. 10:30 (11.30 Libya) Welcome to our live coverage of the fall of the

como país emergente, o Brasil é uma nação cujo cotidiano político é de
fazer inveja ao chamado Terceiro Mundo. Afinal, ações republicanas, não
importam se da situação ou da oposição, são mercadoria em absoluta
extinção. Quando liderava as fileiras da oposição, o Partido dos
Trabalhadores fazia exatamente o que seus atuais adversários têm feito
de maneira infantil e irresponsável. Pegam carona na primeira nesga de
escândalo que aparece no cenário político, como se esse tipo de situação
pudesse solucionar as recorrentes mazelas de um país com dimensões
continentais.
Era esperado– Secretário-executivo da FIFA, Jérôme Valcke
acaba de anunciar as cidades brasileiras que sediarão o jogo de
abertura e a final da Copa do Mundo de 2014. Ao lado de Ricardo
Teixeira, presidente da CBF, Valcke informou que o jogo de abertura será
na cidade de São Paulo, confirmando as expectativas, mas contrariando a
lógica. A final da Copa será mesmo no Rio de Janeiro, como anunciado
anteriormente, no Estádio Mário Filho, o popular Maracanã.
At the UN General Assembly in 2009, Gaddafi accused the body of being a terrorism group like al-Qaeda [EPA]
The disappearance of Moamer Kadhafi is a major step forward in the battle
fought for more than eight months by the Libyan people to liberate
themselves from the dictatorial and violent regime imposed on them for more
than 40 years.
I can't think of a better way for Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to meet his end
than to be gunned down in a Libyan sewer. It is a fitting end to the career
of a man who presided over one of the most murderous and violent regimes of
the modern age, and had all the morality of a sewer rat.
A black era has come to an end forever, the Libyan people are looking
forward to a promising future where they finally start building their free
democractic state for which they have fought for eight months now. Our
people have paid a high price, about 40,000 martyrs have given their lives.
We appreciate the help of the international community to get rid of Gaddafi
and his crimes. It is not important whether he faces trial or whether he is
alive or dead.
@jrug Whitehall
source: Seif al-Islam Gaddafi (once his father's heir apparent) believed
killed in NATO airstrike near Bani Walid a few days ago.
It wouldn't be the first time that he has been reported taken, so it is worth
being cautious. But rebels always said he was there, and it would make
sense. Mutassim was the rival to Saif al-Islam as a future successor to his
father, and was his National Security Adviser. A photo of him meeting
Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, a couple of years back was among the
more memorable images of the Mafia-like appearances the family liked to don.
Colonel Gaddafi was finally cornered in a drain underneath a road in open
countryside to the west of the city of Sirte. Rebels said a column of
vehicles tried to punch out of an encirclement at dawn. They parked up
around 3-4kms west of the town, which was hit by a NATO airstrike. Gaddafi
and several bodyguards were then forced to take refuge in the drain where
they were then captured and taken away by revolutionary forces.
If the reports of Gaddafi's death are true (and they may not be: the US
cannot even confirm his capture yet), it will make some things easier
between the Libyans and their Western allies. It solves the problem of where
he will be tried, and by whom. If he is still alive, we have months of
wrangling and undignified negotiation yet to come, and – notwithstanding the
assurances above – the prospect of a Saddam Hussein-style show trial. On the
other hand, if he is alive we also stand a greater chance of finally
establishing the truth about Lockerbie, the killing of WPc Yvonne Fletcher
and many other crimes. Either way, the end of this man's brutal dictatorship
has arrived, and not before time.
Branded "mad dog" by Ronald Reagan, the outlandish antics,
flamboyant dress and bombastic pronouncements of the self-styled "Brother
Leader" at times made him seem a figure of ridicule.
