The first testimony of Mauro Cid’s award-winning denunciation, former Jair Bolsonaro (PL) orders, cites nine of the 37 Federal Police for alleged attempted coup after the 2022 elections.

Cid’s award -winning denunciation was approved by Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) in September 2023. After that, he gave more than ten statements. According to the former joint of orders, after the victory of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT), three groups gravitated around Bolsonaro.
The first of them of “conservatives,” which would have a political line. The intention of this group was to transform Bolsonaro into a “great opposition leader.” Some of the members would be Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) and Bruno Bianco, former Union General.
There were also the “moderates”, who said they agreed with “the injustices” of Brazil, but were not in favor of a radical intervention. “They understood that nothing could be done in the face of the election outcome, anything in another sense would be an armed blow,” says Cid. Participants would include General Freire Gomes, then Army Commander, as well as General Paulo Sérgio Nogueira, who was Minister of Defense.
The third group, according to the denunciation, was composed of “radicals”, which was divided into two nuclei: one that would be in favor of going after a supposed ballot box. Another portion “was in favor of an armed arm.” According to the document, the PL president, Valdemar da Costa Neto, and General Eduardo Pazuello, former Minister of Health were included.
Cid also quotes as part of the most radical wing that was talking to “constantly with the former president, instigating him to give a coup” to former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro and federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP).
