Izzy – we heard from the lawyer in Rio.  The Supreme Court have – refused Baixinho’s latest appeal!  Great news.  And very dismissively as well.  As far as we can make out, he has 10 days to appeal (working days, we think) but, as always, there is some confusion.  It seems that this period will only start once the Ministerio Publico is officially informed - which also takes about 10 days.  So 20 working days in total.  We have asked the lawyer for clarity on that.  Clearly, this is excellent news but we have been disappointed too often in the past to start counting any chickens.  Hopefully, we will know by sometime in mid-March whether this is really over, or whether Baixinho takes it to the next step.  Yes, there is another appeal, possible two!.  Vamos ver!
