Federal Deputy is accused of coup d’état; acronym underlies the action on an excerpt from the Constitution that gives the House the power to be sustained by the progress of a criminal action while the parliamentarian maintains his mandate
The former president’s party filed a document to the Board of Directors of the House of Representatives on Wednesday (1), asking to stop the criminal action judged by the first class of the that made the federal deputy (PL-RJ). He is accused of a coup d’état, attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, criminal organization, qualified damage and deterioration of the public assets. Former President Jair Bolsonaro also became a defendant in the same action. The acronym underlies the action on an excerpt from the Constitution that gives the House the power of the progress of a criminal action while the parliamentarian maintains his mandate. The Constitution says that this procedure can only be adopted in cases of crimes committed after the diplomation of a deputy. For the approval, argues PL lawyer, Marcelo Bessa, would require 257 votes.
The complaint of the Attorney General’s Office accepted by the Supreme Court says that while heading the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin), Ramagem helped Bolsonaro trigger the “criminal plan”, disbeliefly the electronic ballot boxes and opponents in the procedure that would have culminated in an attempted coup d’état. Ramagem remained in office until March 2022. According to the Constitution, once the representation was received, the sustainment request will need to be analyzed by the House within 45 days. The leader of the House PL, Sostenes Cavalcante (RJ), departed in defense of branch.
A He claims that he became one of the former president’s leading counselors and articulated attacks on the STF. Message exchanges pointed out, according to investigations, that Ramagem encouraged Bolsonaro to confront the ministers. The deputy’s defense classified the evidence as “shy” and denied his involvement in scammer acts. In the document, the PL claims that all alleged crimes imputed would have been consummated after the diploma of branch, which occurred on December 19, 2022. “Because the crime of armed criminal organization, which has a permanent nature, would have extended until January 2023, and the other crimes imputed would have occurred on January 8, 2023”, justifies the text, signed by Bessa.
