The minister of the (Federal Supreme Court) voted to make defendants ten more accused of involvement in a coup plot to keep the candidate defeated in the 2022 () elections in the Presidency of the Republic. For the first time throughout the prosecution’s analysis sessions, the rapporteur rejected the complaints against two of those involved.
If the vote of Moraes is victorious, as it occurred in the other three judgments of the type, 31 involved, in all, they respond to the criminal action on the subject.
The minister considered that the PGR (Attorney General of the Republic) was not able to present sufficient evidence against Nilton Diniz Rodrigues or against Cleverson Ney Magalhães.
The group whose complaint is analyzed on Tuesday (20) is coercive actions, integrated by those responsible for pressuring and coercing military and other public agents to join the coup plan.
In this round, there are 12 accused to have the complaint analyzed: (colonel), (colonel), (reserve general), (colonel), (lieutenant colonel), (colonel), (general), (lieutenant colonel), (lieutenant colonel), (lieutenant colonel), (lieutenant colonel) and (federal police).
“The two here, and for both my analysis is similar, were eventually denounced that there were references to their names and one was an advisor to Estevam Theophilo and the other advisor Freire Gomes, but there is no further imputation or sufficient evidence,” said the rapporteur.
Freire Gomes was the army commander at the time and was not denounced.
According to Moraes, the situation of the two accused is different from the others in the treatment given by PGR.
“It seems to me that the minimum necessary, as we have seen in relation to the others, a broad investigation, messaging, technological information, here it seems to me that it cannot be penalized because the receipt of the complaint has to be done with the reasonableness necessary, because it is always a burden to respond to criminal action. They are mentions,” he said.
This is the largest group of the complaint. The other three parts analyzed so far have been unanimously accepted.
In the vote of merit, the rapporteur countered the allegation of the defendants of the accused that the meeting made to build the letter to press the command of the army would have been a fraternization.
“If it was not enough to disrespect democracy, disrespecting hierarchy and discipline, leaking a coup letter to press the commander. No beer between friends, perhaps poison among scammers,” he said.
The rapporteur also read several messages exchanged between group members and Lieutenant Colonel. It would be through the order assistant, according to Moraes, the connection between the milies and the so-called central core of the coup plot, which includes former President Jair Bolsonaro.
“Messages updating Mauro Cid, including Cid having excluded messages and saying that many things leak. If it was to have beer with friends there would be no need to exclude message and still warn many things leak,” he said.
“Here, the illegality is so great, the coercion to the army chief, the officers, the army commander that the commander had an inquiry opened to ascertain military crime.
Moraes highlighted, as in the other sessions, that, in the current phase, to decide whether to receive the complaint. Open the criminal action, it will be up to the Attorney’s Office to present all evidence to confirm the truth of the suspicions.
In other judgments, the rapporteur showed videos on a big screen with images of the scammer attacks of 8 January or excerpts of conversations included in the complaint to demonstrate the materiality of the facts.
Defendants were made on March 26 as members of the so -called central core of the plot. On April 22, the board of “action management”. The previous round was on May 6, when the.
They are accused of five crimes: attempted abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, coup, armed criminal organization, qualified damage and deterioration of listed heritage. If the complaint is accepted, they become defendants and a criminal action is opened against them.
