By omissions and non-compliance with the agreement, the MPF defends only 1/3 of reducing the penalty to the former assistant of Bolsonaro orders
The (Attorney General’s Office) denied, on Monday (14.Jul.2025), the judicial forgiveness to Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid for his award-winning denunciation. The negative was presented to the Supreme Court (STF) in the final allegation of the criminal action that investigates the central nucleus of the attempted coup d’état in 2022.
In the document, the Attorney General of the Republic, Paulo Gonet, mentioned the “contradictory behavior ” of the former (PL) Orders of Orders “Marked by omissions and resistance to full compliance with agreed obligations” with the MPF (Federal Public Prosecution Service).
For this justification, the prosecutor, head of the MPF, said that the reduction of penalty, one of the counterparts of the award -winning plea agreement, should be set at the minimum level.
“The Public Prosecution Service suggests, in the wake of this construction, the reduction of 1/3 of the penalty imposed by criminal practice as a premial benefit arising from its collaboration”He said. The maximum to be reduced in this case would be 2/3 of the penalty.
PGR also denied “the automatic conversion of deprivation of liberty to restrictive rights ”. Restrictive penalties of rights may include provision of services to the community, fine, temporary interdiction of rights (traveling and attending certain places, for example), weekend limitations, among others.
The agency argued that Cid was silent during the criminal proceedings. “Despite the evidential elements collected (…) The defendant resisted the recognition of his effective participation in the events under investigation ”declared PGR. “The conduct denotes possible resistance to the full compliance with the commitments made in the award -winning collaboration agreement“, These.
Although it does not disregard the “punctual effectiveness ” of the denunciation, Cid’s testimonies about his own performance “In the criminal organization’s endeavors, they were generally superficial and poorly enlightened, especially as to the most serious facts ”.
The prosecutor cited a report by the magazine Look who showed that Cid had to talk to people close to Bolsonaro and with, who defends Colonel Marcelo Câmara, also a defendant in the criminal action. “The goal, urged to speak, that this profile was created from email linked to the name of the defendant (”, Wrote the Attorney’s Office. Lieutenant Colonel’s defense, however, denies that the profile on the social network was used by him.
“The question remains under calculation and it is not possible, at this moment, to attribute to the defendant the authorship of the accesses”, Said PGR.
Despite Cid’s conduct, according to PGR, there is not enough reason to annul the agreement, as some defendants from other defendants in the criminal action requested. “In any case, any proof of linking the profile to the name of Mauro Cid would not in itself imply the emptying of the voluntarity or legality of the award -winning collaboration agreement, whose regularity and spontaneity were repeatedly recognized throughout the instruction“, These.
“Only the ambiguous character of the conduct of the employee would be emphasized, which, by parallel roads, sought to earn award benefits and restore channels of dialogue with the other crushes ”said PGR.
In the 517 pages of the final allegation, in addition to denying judicial forgiveness to CID, the PGR called for the conviction of Bolsonaro and 7 others. Read more details in this Poder360.
