After the coup attacks in , Ricardo Cappelli defends strict judgment and exemplary sentences for those indicted by the Federal Police for participating in a .
Cappelli currently. Previously, it was after the January 8 attacks and he served as executive secretary of the Ministry of Justice before moving to the (Federal Supreme Court).
In Cappelli’s assessment, the company was very careful before, due to its participation in a coup plot.
In addition to him, the relationship also includes the former Minister of Defense Braga Netto, vice-president in 2022 on the defeated ticket, the former director general of the (Brazilian Intelligence Agency), now a federal deputy, and the former minister of the (Office of Institutional Security) Augusto Heleno.
“Many of the indictees who appear, such as Braga Netto, Heleno himself and Bolsonaro had not yet been the target of more overt PF operations, which indicates that the PF took all technical and procedural care in seeking connections, materiality and not file an indictment anyway.”
Because of all this work, the former DF interventionist says it is “very difficult” for the accused to escape conviction.
“They have to be in exemplary convictions. Because this is a trial that will establish a turning point in the history of Brazil. Never in Brazil has a coup conspiracy been brought to trial”, he argues. “This is the first time in history that we will have people in the dock who conspired against democracy. So this is a historic, unprecedented trial and needs to be exemplary.”
Cappelli also says that January 8th and the plan to kill Lula, Vice Geraldo Alckmin and the STF minister are interconnected. “The coup plot begins the day after the elections, because they still thought they were going to win. When they lose, the next day, the camps begin in front of the barracks.”
“There is no precedent for a camp in front of a barracks in the history of Brazil. So it is clear that this happened with the authorization of the commander in chief of the Armed Forces at the time, Jair Bolsonaro.”
