Marcos Olsen was summoned to testify in favor of former Navy Chief, Almir Garnier, with the audience scheduled for Friday (23)
The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court rejected the request of the Navy Commander, to be dismissed from his testimony in the criminal action that investigates the alleged attempted coup. Olsen was summoned to testify in favor of the former Navy Chief, with the audience scheduled for this Friday (23).
Garnier’s defense maintains that Olsen’s testimony is critical: “It is essential to clarify, about the screen of the contradictory, if at the time of the facts narrated in the complaint there was any conversation or internal dealings related to movement, or preparation of troops, given that the listed witness exercised, at that time, the position of commander of Naval Operations of the Brazilian Navy,” said the lawyer Demostenes Torres. Moraes, in turn, determined that the Navy Commander appear to the hearing, reinforcing the importance of the testimony in the process.
The former navy chief faces five accusations, including armed criminal association and attempted abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, which makes the statement even more relevant.
Carlos de Almeida Baptista Júnior, former Air Force Chief, corroborated that Garnier was aware and agreed with the former president’s scammers. “In one of these meetings, I have a very passive view of the Admiral. I remember that Minister Paulo Sérgio and I talked more, we discussed more, we were taking the president more demoid. In one of these meetings, the point where he said that the navy troops would be available to President Bolsonaro,” he said.
