Cid claims that financing for the alleged coup attempt came from ‘agribusiness people’

Braga Netto’s arrest brought to light worrying allegations about the financing of actions by a military group known as “Kids Pretos”. According to investigations, the money for these operations originated from agribusiness. In response, the Agricultural Parliamentary Front (FPA) issued an official note calling for urgent, rigorous and impartial investigations. The FPA emphasized that this incident is an isolated action and does not represent the sector as a whole.

According to the Federal Police, would be involved in financing a plan to assassinate prominent political figures, including President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and Federal Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes. Recovered messages suggest that the former aide-de-camp estimated that he needed R$100,000 for the plan, an amount that would have been delivered in boxes of wine.

The FPA note highlights the importance of legal, transparent and balanced investigations, as stipulated by the Federal Constitution. In this sense, agribusiness, often seen as a driver of national development, declares that it cannot be reduced to the actions of isolated groups.

“This generalization would not only be unfair, but harmful, when it delegitimizes a sector that historically supports food security and Brazil’s trade balance. It is crucial to separate individual responsibilities from the values ​​that drive the majority of producers, who are committed to sustainability, innovation and contributing to the strengthening of democracy. In this case, the institutional response must be directed to prevent the actions of a few from contaminating the perception of a sector that is vital for Brazil’s growth”, commented political scientist, Deyse Cioccari, about the case.
