PGR’s complaint says the criminal organization was created on July 29, 2021. That day Bolsonaro gathered government members to live on social networks with his main attack on the electronic ballot boxes.
Then, says Gonet, the former president continued with public speeches to “inculcate a sense of indignation and revolt in his supporters for the purpose of making acceptable and even sprinkling the strength against an electoral result in which his most consistent political opponent triumphered.”
The complaint points out that Bolsonaro urged the disobedience of judicial decisions, spread false information about the elections, attacked STF ministers and the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) and incited the Armed Forces against their opponents.
“What seemed, at the time, an electoral bid, in itself unlawful and causing electoral sanctions, was, from the plot unraveling in the police inquiry, a step further from the plan to blow the planned and feared result of the suffrage to happen later,” Gonet says in the complaint.
Bolsonaro was defeated in the 2022 elections by his main opponent, Lula (PT).
The prosecution maintains that the former president tried to reverse the electoral result with a search for evidence of election fraud. The Armed Forces Inspection Report did not find suspicions.
The liberal party tried to nullify the votes deposited at the electronic ballot boxes prior to 2020, under the false justification that there was malfunction. The acronym was fined for the ineptitude of the complaint and lack of evidence.
Without success in the Electoral Court, Bolsonaro came to meet with heads of the Armed Forces to discuss alternatives to reverse defeat. In a statement to the Supreme Court, the former president confirmed that he met with the military commanders to study “other possibilities within the Constitution, that is, never leaving the four lines”.
“In a few meetings, we abandon any possibility of constitutional action,” said Bolsonaro. “We abandon and face the sunset of our government.”
Gonet says that the coup d’état was not possible only thanks to the refusals of Army Commanders, General Freire Gomes, and Aeronautics, Baptista Júnior.
The group’s last attempt to return to the presidency, according to PGR, was in the attack on the headquarters of the powers on January 8. She says the episode was “fostered and facilitated by the reported organization.”
The defense of the former president denies the coup plot. He says that the prosecutor’s office invented a narrative that won the press and resulted in a “process as historical as it is unusual.”
Bolsonaro’s lawyers say the prosecution failed to gather evidence about scammer decree drafts nor establish concrete bonds between the former president and the attacks on January 8.
“There is no way to condemn Jair Bolsonaro based on the evidence produced in the case file, which has shown it abundantly that he determined the transition, avoided chaos with truckers [que bloquearam estradas após sua derrota eleitoral] And he attested to his voters that the world would not end on December 31, that the people would realize that the new government would not do well to the country, “the defense says in their final allegations.
