Investigations point out that Braga Netto financed an operation to execute Minister Alexandre de Moraes and did the dialogue with Bolsonaro supporters who were camped at the barracks
The general’s lawyers, former Minister of Defense and the Civil House in the government, sent on Monday to a synthesis of defense arguments to try to convince the ministers of the first class to reject the complaint of the coup. Lawyers José Luis Oliveira Lima, Rodrigo Dall’Acqua, Rogério Costa, Millena Galdiano and Bruno Dallari Oliveira Lima, who represent the former minister, state that the complaint is “contradictory, fantasy and admittedly without commitment to the evidence” and that “the procedures that preceded him with various illegalities”. “Given all this scenario, the need for this E. STF, with the wisdom and serenity that are peculiar to it, reject the reckless accusations articulated against Gen. Braga Netto,” says the defense.
According to the complaint, Braga Netto financed an operation to execute Minister Alexandre de Moraes – the Plan Copa 2022 – and made the dialogue with radical supporters of Bolsonaro who were camped in the barracks. He is appointed as one of the leaders of an armed criminal organization who, according to the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), was set up to keep Bolsonaro in power after the 2022 elections. Braga Netto lawyers claim that the evidence is “fragile” and “evaded”, and says he had not had access to the entire probation of the investigation and states that the PGR states that PGR claims that did not individualize the conduct of the accused.
The lawyers also say that the investigation of the coup is irregular because it was opened based on the digital militia survey, instituted by minister Alexandre de Moraes from the sharing of evidence of the inquiry of undemocratic acts, filed at the initiative of PGR. Braga Netto’s lawyers claim that the minister acted irregularly in ordering to investigate facts that had been given as closed by the Attorney General’s Office
