The defense of Lieutenant Colonel told Tuesday (29) to the (Supreme Court) that the military was responsible for revelations from DA and denied that there was omission in his award-winning collaboration. For these reasons, he asks the judicial forgiveness to the lieutenant colonel.
Lawyers say they have been betrayed by the (Attorney General’s Office), which for alleged ties with the attacks of 8 January even after months of the Federal Police.
“What has been seen was a misrepresentation of the information provided, in input input to attribute crimes that he has never committed or could commit. Yes, he was betrayed by the accusing body that used his good faith to build an accusation disconnected from factual reality, typical materiality and his own report to the end to send him to the shooting,” the defense said.
The statements were made in the final allegations submitted by Cid’s lawyers to the Supreme.
The defense of the military states that it is not reasonable for PGR to make use of the information passed on by CID and then presents a position contrary to the main benefits of the award -winning collaboration agreement.
“The granting of the benefits that were adjusted in the collaboration agreement is essentially linked to the benefit of the information brought to the investigation, a fact that is undisputed and emphasized by the Federal Police and the prosecution itself in certain excerpts,” says the defense.
Cid lawyers ask the denunciation agreement to be maintained in full by the Supreme Court, including the proposal for judicial forgiveness. In case of “incredulous conviction”, the military defense wants the expected benefit of a sentence of less than two years in prison.
Regarding the merits of the prosecution, the defense says that the lieutenant colonel must be acquitted of the accusations that there is no evidence of his participation in the attempted coup.
All defendants of the main core of the coup plot are accused of committing crimes of armed criminal organization, coup d’état, attempted abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, damage to public assets and deterioration of listed heritage.
Mauro Cid’s denunciation was one of the parts of the process most attacked by the other defendants’ defenses. The Military’s will at the PF headquarters in Brasilia and the fact that Cid when the benefits of the agreement were at risk generated doubts even in STF ministers about the validity of collaboration.
In the final allegations, Lieutenant Colonel’s defense stressed that he spontaneously closed his denunciation. “The agreement […] He met all the validity, effectiveness and effectiveness requirements, and as such, was approved and ratified by the employee and this Court, “he said.
“It would be unreasonable, not to say disregarded, that the Attorney General’s Office could-that is not a contractor-to use the collaboration as an accusatory basis and at the same time punish the employee for effectively collaborated,” add the lawyers.
The defense stated that Cid adopted “unusual and courageous” stance by deciding to collaborate with the investigation, “even aware that his posture would face strong resistance, reprisals and somewhat coercion from his former allies.”
The lawyers said that Mauro Cid did not report some suspicious facts in their first testimonials for “absolute ignorance of any planned actions.” At this point, the strategy is to deny that there was a change in versions, but additions to the testimonies after new information revealed by the PF.
The first part of the process to present the final allegations was the Attorney General’s Office. The Attorney General asked for a reduction of only one third of the sentence.
In his award -winning collaboration agreement, Cid asked not to be sentenced to the sentence of more than two years in prison. It was a strategy for trying to stay in the army and avoid returning to jail.
Gonet defended a middle ground. He argued that, even if he collaborated with the investigation, the military omitted important information, contradicted himself in excerpts from the statements and resistance to compliance with the agreement.
“Faced with contradictory behavior, marked by omissions and resistance to full compliance with agreed obligations, it is understood that the reduction of the penalty should be fixed at a minimum level,” said the Attorney General.
The lawsuit against the main core of the coup plot is in its final stretch. With the demonstration of Mauro Cid filed on Tuesday, the deadline for the defenses of the other defendants to submit their final allegations begins.
Lawyers will have 15 days to produce the material and send to the Supreme. The deadline ends on August 13.
After this phase of the case, it will be up to the minister to request a date for the judgment of the defendants. It is expected that the case will be taken to the first class in late August or early September.
