Former director of (Brazilian Intelligence Agency), will be tried by the (Supreme Court) on charges of being responsible for preparing the former president’s speech (PL) against.
The complaint of (Attorney General’s Office) says that the search for was the initial stage of a plan to keep Bolsonaro in charge of the Planalto Palace even in case of eventual defeat in the presidential.
When he already held the federal deputy for the Rio de Janeiro, Ramagem had his complaint accepted by the first class of (Supreme Federal Court).
He was accused of committing five crimes, but, in a clash with the Supreme, decided – that one dealt with the crimes that would have been committed after his diploma as a parliamentary.
Therefore, as accused of integrating the central nucleus of the coup plot, Ramagem will be tried from next day 2 by accusing crimes of coup, abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law and Armed Criminal Association.
Only when he ceases to be a deputy can he be tried for the crimes of qualified damage to public assets and deterioration of the overturned assets, both related to the attacks of 8 January.
See what weighs against Alexandre Ramagem, according to the complaint of PGR:
Construction of the coup message
It found in material seized with four text files with criticism of the electoral system. They were first person written and indicated that the recipient would be Bolsonaro.
The archives were saved with the names “Good morning President.docx”, “President TSE informa.docx”, “PR President” and President.docx. “The signs that his interlocutor was Bolsonaro are also in sentences written by branch, such as” Congratulations, President “,” I’m available “and” always count on me “.
In one of the texts, Ramagem says that even before the election there was already “concluding that vulnerability in technical transparency and exclusive governance of the Court will be pointed out.” In another stretch, he says he has “total certainty that there was fraud in the 2018 elections, with Mr. victory in the first round”.
“I understand that voting argument is not a good line of attack on the ballot box. In fact, the ballot box is already in total discredit before the population. This already consolidated issue must be praised,” wrote the then director of ABIN.
Proposals to attack the ballot box were also found in a print that would be a conversation between Ramagem and Bolsonaro. The Chief of Abin said that “the largest computing authorities have already been able to identify various flaws and vulnerabilities.”
According to PGR, the archives revealed the “intense performance [de Ramagem] to transmit information without reliable basis and destabilize democratic institutions. “
“The predilection for the electoral subject was not fortuitous. The intense dedication to demonstrate alleged failures in the Brazilian electoral system directly met Jair Bolsonaro’s interests. Proof of this is that Alexandre Ramagem’s guidelines were widely used in public pronouncements of the then president,” says Paulo Gonet in the final allegations.
Ramagem’s defense, made by lawyer Paulo Renato Cintra, says the content of the archives had been converged with what had been propagated by Bolsonaro for years. It would not make sense, therefore, to impute the former director of ABIN the responsibility of building the narrative against the ballot boxes. According to Cintra, the archives expressed only the personal opinion of branch.
Illegal espionage
The complaint accuses bump of setting up a parallel structure at Abin to perform virtual attacks. The nucleus would act as a counterintelligence center, which produced misinformation against opponents of the criminal organization.
According to PGR, the branch -led group used tools available to the agency, such as the FirstMile system, which allows you to monitor the location of mobile phones. They were the target of clandestine actions, according to investigations, ministers of the Supreme, deputies and journalists.
Ramagem is still accused of, in charge of Abin, determining monitoring about suspicions involving Renan Bolsonaro, son of the former president.
The deputy’s defense says that the facts were not correctly described by the Attorney’s Office and that the crimes can be attributed to branch.
She points out that FirstMile was acquired by ABIN before the Bolsonaro government began and says that when Ramagem took over the agency’s management, it identified a possible undue use of the system and “provoked the competent administrative authorities to verify the lawfulness of its use.”
Interference with the Federal Police
In one of the files found on Ramagem cell phone, with the title “Attack on the polls and powers”, the former ABIN director suggests that the AGU (Attorney General’s Office) be used to produce opinions that support the Federal Police to breach search and arrest orders. “PF units […] They only need legal support and hierarchical command to comply with or not the measures of the STF manifestly contrary to the law, “he adds.
The defense of branch emphasizes the use of the expression “to fulfill or not” and argues that this would pass it legal analysis of AGU. “It is important to note that the AGU was not triggered. There was no crime. Even though the message had been effectively transmitted to the then president – and there is no evidence in this regard – the proposal was never taken further, with no materiality,” he adds.
