Minister Alexandre de Moraes commands on Wednesday (13) an interim between two defendants of the alleged scammer plot of 2022, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid and Colonel Marcelo Câmara. The meeting is scheduled for 11:30 am at the headquarters of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) in Brasilia.
The storage was authorized on August 6, at the request of the defense of the House, and seeks to confront divergent statements of the two military.

According to the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), Chamber passed Cid’s confidential information about Moraes’ displacements and commitments. The whistleblower also stated that Colonel monitored Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s presidential plate (PT) and Vice President and Minister of Industry and Commerce, Geraldo Alckmin (PSB).
The defense disputes and points out “incongruities” in the reports of Cid. He claims that the colonel did not monitor authorities, was unaware of the purpose of the information and never had access to the so -called “scam draft.” For lawyers, the interim is an opportunity to dismantle the narrative of the prosecution and remove chamber from the decision -making core of the plot.
Although it has an immediate effect on the judgment phase, it may influence ministers’ votes by reinforcing or weakening the consistency of the allegations.

In Cid’s case, his agreement was a key piece for PGR to map connections between different plot nuclei-from draft production to monitoring authorities and mobilization of supporters for violent acts. An eventual retreat or contradiction of your camera version can be explored by other defenses to question the robustness of the probationary set.
DEFENSE STRATEGY
Lawyers who work in cases linked to the coup attempt have adopted two main paths: denying direct participation of their clients in the most serious actions or maintaining that acts practiced do not constitute a crime against the rule of law.
In the case of a camera, the bet is to dissociate it from any rupture planning and present it as a military man oblivious to the group’s political intentions.

If this strategy gains breath, this Wednesday’s caressing can serve as an argument for reporting reviews or even provisional requests for freedom.
