According to the policy analyst of CNN Juliana Lopes, the defenses of those involved question the practical effectiveness of a possible caress-legal process that seeks to investigate divergent statements or testimonials-to be installed by the Attorney General’s Office (PGR).
She states that, in the specific case that investigates an attempted coup d’état, there is an understanding among lawyers that such a procedure cannot change the course of investigations.
The defendants of the accused argue that, despite some “dubious” issues, there is already a clear understanding of the Supreme Court about the specific facts related to the meetings in question, in which a possibility of institutional rupture would have been discussed after the 2022 elections.
Therefore, in the view of these lawyers, a core at this time would have little impact on the course of the investigations.
Central points of the testimonials
As Juliana explains, two aspects stood out in the week of testimonials: reports on a supposed pressure exerted by the military and reactions to the exhibitions made by the allies and the former president himself.
The investigation remains in progress in the first class of the Federal Supreme Court, with being a crucial step in clarifying events related to the alleged attempted coup.
