A sent a report to the minister, of the (Supreme Federal Court), in which he says that the lieutenant colonel has failed to comply with clauses of the plea bargain agreement.
Moraes sent the report to the (Attorney General’s Office), which must comment on the maintenance of the award-winning collaboration of the soldier who was the former president’s aide-de-camp ().
The expectation is that the Supreme Court minister will decide in the coming days whether the agreement will be maintained. The eventual annulment of the plea bargain must keep the military’s evidence and statements valid, but Cid may lose the benefits obtained by the agreement.
The Federal Police’s assessment is that Mauro Cid has omitted information and hampered the investigation, contradicting the agreement signed between the PF and the military.
Investigators’ discontent increased after it was discovered that the lieutenant colonel deleted messages and files from his cell phone considered important to the investigation.
People close to Mauro Cid told Sheetsubject to reservation, that the military denies having omitted information from investigators or even erased evidence. The justification given by him is that, in his role as adjutant, he received dozens of documents a day and deleted what he considered unimportant.
Cid also said that he was unaware of the coup plan drawn up by retired general Mário Fernandes, executive secretary of the General Secretariat of the Presidency in the Jair Bolsonaro government.
Bolsonaro’s former aide-de-camp gave new testimony about the coup investigations this Tuesday (19). The hearing lasted around three hours. Cid left the Federal Police headquarters in the early evening, accompanied by lawyer Cezar Bittencourt.
