The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court asked on Thursday (29) that the (Attorney General’s Office) states within five days about the release request made by the defense of former Minister and General of Reserve.
The expectation of the lawyers is for Moraes to give the general freedom after the Supreme concludes the phase of in the process of a. The hearings end on Monday (2).
The movement in the process occurred after its own.
In the decision, Moraes says that “the factual situation” existing when the military was arrested remains unchanged and that the beginning of the criminal instruction of the process, in which witnesses are heard, demonstrates “the need to maintain pre -trial detention” to “ensure the application of criminal law, in view of the danger generated by the state of freedom of the custodian”.
The minister invokes the testimony of one of the witnesses, former Air Force commander Baptista Júnior, who said this week that Braga Netto advised military to attack him because he was “contrary to the coup plan of the criminal organization.”
The defense of the general filed an appeal against the Moraes Decision. She argues that the evidence presented by the Federal Police to request the arrest of Braga Netto, suspected of interfering with the investigation of the coup plot, boils down to a cell phone print, without context and about fact that occurred two years ago.
Lawyer José Luis Oliveira Lima says there is no reason to keep the general arrested after more than 160 days in prison.
“It is currently unquestionable that there are no ongoing investigations to be protected, just as for months there is no more confidentiality about Mauro Cid’s award -winning denunciation. Still, prosecution witnesses, collaborator witnesses and common witnesses between prosecution and defense have been heard;
on the grounds that he allegedly tried to access Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid’s denunciation to interfere with the investigations that were being processed in the 2022 coup plot.
