During a statement held in November 2022, Cid stated that there were military personnel involved in a meeting discussing the coup plan
The minister has decided that the phones, who is whistleblower in an inquiry into an alleged coup attempt, will be monitored. This measure was taken after the Federal Police identified significant contradictions in Cid’s statements, which generated arrest requests and raised questions about information he failed to mention. During a statement held in November 2022, Cid stated that there were military personnel involved in a meeting discussing the coup plan. However, subsequent investigations have revealed that these military personnel played a crucial role in action planning. In addition, Cid failed to properly explain the purpose of a meeting between members of the Special Forces, which aimed to press the Army commander to support the coup.
The Attorney General of the Republic, Paulo Gonet, expressed the need to arrest Cid, emphasizing that he not only omitted important information, but also minimized the seriousness of events related to the attempt to break the institutional order. This situation raises concerns about the integrity of ongoing investigations. Inconsistencies in Mauro Cid’s testimony are generating a climate of uncertainty around the case, and the decision to monitor their communications can be an important step in clarifying the facts.
