The Attorney General of the Republic, on Thursday (27) the (Supreme Federal Court) requested the filing of investigations involving the former president (PL) in the case that investigates.
According to him, there are not enough elements to justify the former president’s liability.
The prosecutor’s measure occurs the day after Bolsonaro became a defendant in the Supreme Court in the case of the coup plot.
In the petition sent to the rapporteur of the case in the Supreme, Minister Alexandre de Moraes, however, Gonet also states that the case of the vaccine card is different from the investigation into the 2022 coup plot.
“The situation of these records differentially differs from the stamped on PET 12100, in which autonomous convincing evidence was produced by the Federal Police, in confirmation of the employees’ reports,” he said, in reference to the award-winning collaboration of the former orders.
Bolsonaro, Cid, Federal Deputy Gutemberg Reis (MDB-RJ) and 14 others were indicted by the Federal Police a year ago.
Cid was arrested because of this investigation, triggered by the PF in May 2023. Bolsonaro’s former auxiliary spent four months detained at the time and left the jail after signing an award-winning collaboration agreement.
The whistleblower said in testimony that the fraud on Bolsonaro’s vaccination card and his daughter, Laura, was made at the request of the agent himself at the time and that the certificates were printed and delivered “in hands” to the then president.
Gonet states to the Supreme Court that there is only Cid’s denunciation as an element against Bolsonaro and therefore could not denounce Bolsonaro.
“It occurs – in the prejudice of the viability of presentation of criminal prosecution – which only the employee stated that the president will determine the realization of the act. This request is a central element so that the typical conduct, a crime of his own hand, can be imputed to him. Article 4, § 16, of Law No. 12.850/2013, however, prohibits the receipt of a complaint that is based only on the statements of the employee.”
The request will still be evaluated by the case rapporteur in the Supreme Court, Moraes. As the responsibility of the prosecution is from the Public Prosecution Service, requests for filing tend to be ratified by the judiciary.
In March 2024, he criticized the indictment and called him precipitate.
At the time, the lawyers stated that “there is no founded and objective suspicion of their participation or authorship in the crimes in calculation”.
The investigation pointed out the suspicion of crimes of insertion of false data in a public system and criminal association, and the country and prevent the possession of ().
Regarding Deputy Gutemberg Reis, the PGR states that the parliamentarian is effectively vaccinated against Covid-19.
“Thus, with some purpose of improper advantage in a false insertion of data launch. Therefore, the special subjective element of the type provided for in Article 313-A of the Penal Code, which requires the specific purpose of ‘obtaining improper advantage or to others, or causing damage,’ said the Attorney General.
Finally, Gonet asked the case file to be sent to the ordinary instances to follow the investigation of the others involved, without a special forum.
