The defense of the lieutenant colonel asked on Wednesday (23) to the (Supreme Federal Court) the summary acquittal of the military in and denied a relationship between the defendant and the.
Written statements were submitted at the end of Mauro Cid’s prior defense period. This is the first phase of the criminal proceedings against the central core of the coup plot, which has as defendants Cid, the former president (PL) and six others.
Cid’s defense says that the ordinance of orders was a “simple spokesman” of Jair Bolsonaro during his passage by the Presidency of the Republic. It is not reasonable, according to lawyer Cezar Bitencourt, to accuse the military of planning a coup considering his duties as an order assistant.
“This conduct of Mauro Cid, of ‘spokesman’ in order to ‘transmit’ guidelines passed on to him, was his legal obligation linked to the strict fulfillment of his office, and as such, sheltered by an exclusionary unlawfulness provided for in the Penal Code,” says the lawyer.
For the defense of the military, the crimes imputed by the (Attorney General of the Republic) against members of the central core of the coup plot, aimed at positions with decision-making powers-a condition that, according to the defense, “the function performed by Mauro Cid cannot be attributed.”
Bitencourt highlights in the prior defense of the military that the January 8 attack was fateful and shameful. He argues, however, that it is “unreasonable” to attribute the crimes that day Mauro Cid, who was on vacation in the United States.
“To think that Mauro Cid knew or at least was aware of these horrendous facts is a contrast that he finds no protection in his own probationary set glued by the accusation, which is based solely on assumptions about information that rolled in groups of Whatsapp, which, at that time of constant misinformation, was not known when it was true,” he says.
The defense of Cid indicated to Minister Alexandre de Moraes, rapporteur of the process, who intends to analyze all the messages and archives seized by the Federal Police during the investigation.
She calls for access to all media and documents obtained by the investigators and the subpoena of nine witnesses to give testimonials during the criminal proceedings.
The list of witnesses sent by the defense of CID has only military. Two are former army chiefs: General Freire Gomes, appointed by PGR as one of those responsible for the frustration of scammers; and General Júlio César de Arruda, first army commander in the Lula administration.
Mauro Cid was the first to present the prior defense in the coup plot process for closed award-winning collaboration agreement with the Federal Police in the investigation of the attempted coup of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
The Code of Criminal Procedure provides that, in the instruction of the case, whistleblowers must always manifest before the other defendants. The other accused must present their positions in the sequence.
The subpoena of the defendants needs to be done in person, on paper. Bolsonaro has not yet been notified and must be the last to present his prior defense.
They are defendants in this case (Federal Deputy and former Chief of Abin), (former Navy Commander) (former Justice Minister), (former GSI minister), (former Bolsonaro orders) (former Defense Minister) and (former Minister of Civil House and Defense).
