Former Minister Walter Braga Netto twice called Lieutenant Colonel on Tuesday’s liar, the general’s lawyer, José Luis de Oliveira Lima, said.
“General Braga Netto, on two occasions, told Mauro Cid, who remained all the act with his head down, and called him a liar. He did not replace when he had the opportunity to speak,” said Oliveira Lima on the way out of the Supreme Court.
The audience lasted about 1h30. It was closed to the press, without audio or video recording.
Braga Netto’s lawyer said the defense was prohibited from recording the hearing by Minister Alexandre de Moraes and said he will trigger the OAB against violation of the prerogatives of law.
Moraes has determined that the caress will be recorded only in the form of minutes.
According to Oliveira Lima, Braga Netto and Mauro Cid maintained their divergent versions of the two main controversies of the general participation of the general in the 2022 coup plot.
Mauro Cid states that he received cash from the general in late 2022 to deliver the funds to military personnel who, according to the accusation, planned the arrest and murder of Moraes.
Braga Netto denies having delivered money to Cid. According to Oliveira Lima, the whistleblower contradicted himself at two points about the controversy. The lawyer said that Lieutenant Colonel gave new information about where the money would have been delivered.
“He brought a third place that could have been delivered the money […]. He speaks of a garage, a second garage and in the room of the aids of orders, “he said. Mauro Cid’s lawyers have not yet left the audience at the STF. The second caressing occurs at this time between former Justice Minister Anderson Torres and former army commander Marco Antonio Freire Gomes.
Braga Netto has been a friend of Cid’s father since the 1970s, when they met at the Black Needles Military Academy. Were contemporary in the high command of the army. The wives of the generals are longtime friends, and the former minister has known the whistleblower since childhood.
