The first class of (Supreme Federal Court) begins this Monday (28) to hear the statement of the defendants. This is the first time that accused officials of trying to put it into practice will talk about the suspicions.
With the interrogation, the Supreme should reach the final phase of the lawsuit on the attempted coup against the election of (PT) at the same time as that of the former president (PL) grows.
The military nucleus of the coup plot complaint is composed of nine army officers and a federal police officer. The group is divided into two fronts: one supposedly planning the murder of Moraes and another for supporting the scammer plans discussed at the center of the Bolsonaro government at the end of 2022.
The process goes to its outcome without having completed it “. Investigators identified only 2 of the 6 suspects of architecting the murder of the Supreme Minister-the lieutenants of colonels and.
According to the complaint, the military was spread throughout Brasilia to “neutralize Minister Alexandre de Moraes”. The action would take place on December 15, and the suspects kept contact by a group in the Signal application.
The clandestine mission was aborted with the already positioned military, according to the (Attorney General’s Office). “The cancellation of the operation coincides with the moment of confirmation that the command of the army had not adhered to the coup,” he says.
The two identified have been preemptively arrested for eight months. There are, however, gaps about the performance of Rodrigo Azevedo. The complaint does not prove that the military was in Brasilia on the day of the clandestine operation.
Lieutenant Colonel’s defense argues that he was in Goiânia celebrating his birthday with family and friends. Azevedo’s only bond proof with the investigated group is the fact that the military has registered his own chip in one of the cell phones used in the Dias Mission after the operation was aborted.
The complaint brings more elements against Rafael de Oliveira, such as the registration of disposable mobile phone purchase, use of third party documents and conversations about the planning of clandestine action.
On previous occasions he had to give testimony, Oliveira was silent. The defense informed the Sheet that the military will make use of partial silence before the Supreme – will only respond to the questions of his lawyers.
The military accused of supporting the coup d’état are high patent. The main one is General Estevam Theophilo, former chief of the Army Land Operations Command.
Theophilo had a meeting with Bolsonaro on December 9, 2022. Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid stated, in a statement of award-winning denunciation to the Federal Police, that at the departure of the conversation the general told him that the army willing to comply with the coup decree under discussion.
“As much as some generals from the Army High Command agreed or had the idea of how the electoral process was conducted, they would do nothing that broke the link of legality. For something to be done, it would have to have an order, and that order would have to come from the president,” said Cid.
Lieutenant Colonel stated that General Theophilo-at the time, a member of the Army’s top-confirmed: “[Ele disse]: ‘If the president signs, the army will fulfill.’ Not that he was the one who was going to fulfill, but the army. “
The defendants who will be heard by the Supreme are (colonel), (reserve general), (colonel), (lieutenant colonel), (colonel), (lieutenant colonel), (lieutenant colonel), (lieutenant colonel), (lieutenant colonel) and (federal police).
