Mauro cid x braga net
According to Braga Netto’s lawyers ,. The first refers to the meeting held in November 2022 at the residence of Braga Netto. According to Cid, the meeting aimed to discuss the plan called “green and yellow dagger”.
The whistleblower also stated that during the meeting, the participants expressed dissatisfaction with the results of the elections and the way the Armed Forces were dealing with the subject. According to him, the former minister would have then asked Cid to withdraw from the meeting, because from that moment on “operational measures” would be discussed of which, because of his proximity to the former president, he could not participate-version that Braga Netto denies.
The second divergence involves a supposed delivery of money by Braga Netto to Mauro Cid, who would have passed the values to Major de Oliveira, nicknamed “Black Kid”, to finance undemocratic acts. The money would have been delivered inside a box of wine.
Cid stated that the former minister delivered to the Alvorada Palace. Braga Netto’s defense, however, denies this version.
Torres x Freire Gomes
the defense of the former minister says that the statements of the former army commander are “filled with contradictions.”
Among the contradictions, Torres’s defense disputes Freire Gomes’s statement that Torres had attended a meeting with former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and commanders of the three armed forces to deal with matters with coup content.
The defendant’s lawyers argue that the other commanders who testified did not confirm the holding of this meeting. Both Bolsonaro and the case whistleblower, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, also denied the existence of the meeting in which Torres had attended.
The defense also maintains that the general did not present accurate information about the alleged meeting, such as date, place, format or who would have been present. According to the lawyers, Freire Gomes only said he “remembers” the presence of Torres in a meeting to address undemocratic themes, which, according to them, weakens the consistency of the testimony.
