Attorney General of the Republic questioned whether the former defense minister believed that, without adherence to the army, the Navy would be able to promote conditions for breaking institutional normality
The Attorney General of the Republic, committed a gaffe during the hearing of former Defense Minister To the Federal Supreme Court (STF), this Friday (23). After asking a question to Rebelo and being contested by the defense of former minister Gonet, without realizing that the microphone was open, said he “shit” in the question.
The situation occurred during a hearing that is part of the criminal action on alleged coup d’état, in which Rebelo participates as a witness to defendant Almir Garnier, former commander of the Navy. Gonet asked if Rebelo believed that, without army adherence, the Navy would be able to promote conditions of rupture of institutional normality.
Garnier’s defense complained about what this would be an opinionated question, based on a scolding of the minister against him that had occurred moments earlier, by a similar question. The minister then requested the prosecutor to make the question. Thinking about having the silenced microphone, Gonet’s audio escaped. “I made a shit,” said the prosecutor. The testimony was marked by other tense moments.
After he said that what Garnier said about “leaving the former president’s troops available” in the event of an attempted coup could not be taken “literally.” “” We must bear in mind that in the Portuguese language we use the strength of expression, “said Rebelo, who took scolding from the minister, and replaced.” If the Lord does not behave, the Lord will be arrested for contempt, “replied the magistrate.
