In a decision authorizing the launch this Tuesday (19), the minister, of the Superior Federal Court (), mentions that the suspected military personnel had gathered in a group on the Signal application, called World Cup 2022.
Each of them used a codename associated with national teams so as not to reveal their identities: Germany, Austria, Brazil, Argentina, Japan and Ghana.
The coup plan, according to the PF, involved the poisoning of the then elected president ().
“For the execution of President Lula, the document describes, considering his health vulnerability and frequent visits to hospitals, the possibility of using poisoning or using chemicals to cause an organic collapse.”
The PF carried out search and seizure and arrest warrants this Tuesday morning (19) against suspected members of a criminal organization that, according to investigations, planned a coup d’état in 2022 to prevent Lula from taking office.
The PT member defeated the then president (PL) in a fierce 2nd round dispute. During his term, the now ineligible Bolsonaro is now the target of a PF investigation into his role in the plot that tried to prevent Lula from taking office.
Regarding this Tuesday’s operation, authorized by the minister (), the PF stated that, among the actions that would be developed to prevent Lula’s inauguration, was the “Punhal Verde e Amarelo” plan, which would be the murder of the PT member and his deputy, ().
Another target, always according to the PF investigations, would be Moraes, who would be arrested and subsequently killed.
At least four soldiers, one of whom is a retired general, are targets of the measures implemented in three states (RJ, GO, AM) and the Federal District. All arrests have already been carried out.
They are reserve general Mario Fernandes and lieutenant colonels Hélio Ferreira Lima, Rafael Martins de Oliveira and Rodrigo Bezerra de Azevedo. Federal police officer Wladimir Matos Soares is also among those targeted by the warrants — he has also already been arrested.
