Lawyers who represent in the government of, accuse ministers of having created a “exception judgment in the highest court in the country.”
The demonstration appears in the prior defense presented on Monday (23) in the process in which Martins is defendant for participation in the former advisor is accused of having helped to elaborate the draft of the coup, which he denies.
In prior defense, lawyers Marcelo Almeida Sant’Anna and Ricardo Scheiffer Fernandes weave several considerations about what they classify as an arbitrary character of the process.
“What this process merely claims to combat is what it ends up paradoxically, to create, always to the symbolic argument of the ‘defense of democracy’, but undermining the pillars of the same democracy – freedom of expression, freedom of political conviction, freedom of locomotion (as in the case of this same defendant, submitted to illegal and abusive imprisonment for six months), the contradictory process,” the contradictory. “
According to them, Martins is a target not in a criminal case, but of “Lawfare”, a term that designates the use of legal means for political persecution.
Among the points questioned by the defense are Martins’ participation in the production of the draft, with the statement that he was not at a meeting at the Alvorada Palace on December 7, 2022 that would have had this goal, according to the prosecution.
As the panel showed, he was at another point at the time of the meeting, indicating his absence of the meeting.
Lawyers also call for the nullity of the process, which is based on a large measure on the award-winning denunciation of Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid.
The argument is that messages attributed to CID revealed in recent weeks show that the military makes it clear that he has not given his testimonials voluntarily and forced some revelations to get benefits.
The suspicions of the rapporteur of the case, minister, and his colleagues Flávio Dino are also requested and, due to previous manifestations that are criticism of Bolsonarism. The same is true of the Attorney General, Paulo Gonet.
The defense also says that from the beginning it had difficulty gaining access to the case file, with “severe limitations in access to the probationary set gathered by the Federal Police and the Attorney General’s Office”.
