Freire Gomes was summoned for a caressing with the former minister in the criminal plot’s criminal action
General Marco Antônio Freire Gomes, former army commander, reiterated on Tuesday (24), that the so-called coup draft seized by the former Minister of Justice had identical points to the document presented by the former president (PL) to the heads of the Armed Forces at a meeting at the palace in Dawn in December 2022. This is the same document, ”said the general. The documents provided for measures such as state of defense, state of siege and guarantee of law and order (GLO) to annul the result of the 2022 presidential election, according to the general.
Freire Gomes was summoned for a caressing with the former minister in the criminal plot’s criminal action. He maintained the previous versions he presented to the Federal Police during the investigation and at the process of the process in the Supreme Court. The information is in the minutes of the hearing, which was not recorded by determination of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, rapporteur of the case. The former army commander also said he attended ministerial meetings with Anderson Torres before the elections and that his former minister “legally advised the former president at specific points.” Freire Gomes added, however, that Anderson Torres never opined “in the sense of the breach of the rule of law.”
The general had already been heard as a witness in the process. In previous statements, when confronted with the coup draft, he stated that the content, in general terms, was very similar to what was presented by Bolsonaro to the commanders of the Armed Forces. “I do not remember ipsis litteris of documents to compare, I do not have this ability. What I know, yes, is that the content, in general terms, was very similar or had identical points,” he said at the instructional hearing. At the time, Anderson Torres’s defense argued that the document circulated on the internet and that the general may have “confused.” Freire Gomes, however, said he was convinced of his version. “This document, we went to know, as I said, at the meeting on the 7th,” repeated the former army commander.
