The defense of (PL) told the (Supreme Court) that the complaint against the former president has no evidence that lies him to the murder plan of authorities or the attacks of the.
The statement was given by the lawyer at the beginning of his oral support on the second day of the trial on the coup plot in.
“The president did not attack the Democratic Rule of Law,” said Vilardi. “There is not a single proof that binds the president to the green and yellow dagger, spyglass and January 8th. Neither the whistleblower, who I supported against the President of the Republic, nor did he say the participation of dagger, spyglass, pantry and January 8. There is no single race.”
Bolsonaro’s lawyer said the investigation of the one began with the seizure of Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid’s cell phone and the identification of a scammer draft on his phone.
“This is the epicenter, the touch stone of the process. [de Cid]. What happens is that then the truth is that it is an unbelievable succession of facts, “he said.
In Vilardi’s view, the PF found several other documents that dealt with undemocratic issues – as the green and yellow dagger plan, which deals with the murder of authorities, and the spyglass, which indicated the step by step of a coup d’état.
The lawyer says that the investigation, without evidence, eventually linked Bolsonaro to the profusion of documents and the attacks of the January 8, which he called “tragic episode.” “And the president, whom I am representing, was swallowed for these facts,” he added.
On another defense front, Vilardi said questioned the legitimacy of Mauro Cid’s denunciation. “A colleague said this denunciation is a jabuticaba. It’s not a jabuticaba. It’s much more serious,” he said.
“The denunciation, the way it is being proposed is something that is neither here nor anywhere in the world. What is sought is to recognize a partial validity of the denunciation and yet make a use of it reducing the penalty. It is not a part of the penalty due to having a part of omissions and contradictions. Omissions and contradictions nullify the report.”
The lawyer said Cid lied “nth” and that “this man is not reliable.” Vilardi also pointed out that part of the PGR accusation is based exclusively on the military’s denunciation, such as the complaint that Bolsonaro made changes in the scammer drafts.
Bolsonaro is accused by the (Attorney General’s Office) of having committed five crimes: attempted coup, abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, criminal association, qualified damage to public heritage and deterioration of overturned heritage.
He decided not to go to the Supreme to accompany the trial that can take him to prison under closed regime. Bolsonaro watches the session of the first class of the Supreme Court at his home, where he meets.
The oral support of the former president’s defense is divided into two parts. In the first, Vilardi deals with the main points considered controversial in the complaint of the PGR, such as the alleged lack of evidence and voluntarity in his award -winning agreement.
The second part will be conducted by the lawyer, defender who has been with Bolsonaro since the beginning of the investigations. He will deal with criminal aspects that should lead to the acquittal of the former president, as the argument that the acts narrated by the PGR do not configure crime execution
Bolsonaro is accused of being the leader of a criminal organization who tried to take a coup at the end of 2022 after his poll defeat to the president (PT).
The complaint states that the group led by the former president put into practice his strategy against democracy in July 2021, when he promoted a live on social networks to attack the electronic ballot boxes.
In the months following the Live, PGR says Bolsonaro urged the disobedience of court decisions, spread false information about the elections, attacked STF and (Superior Electoral Court) ministers and led to 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.
After the defeat in the presidential elections, the prosecution maintains that the former president tried to reverse the electoral result in search of evidence of election fraud. The Armed Forces Inspection Report, however, found no suspicions.
The liberal party even 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 ineptitude of the complaint and lack of evidence of irregularities.
Without succeeding in the Electoral Court, Bolsonaro came to meet with heads of the Armed Forces to discuss alternatives to reverse the electoral result, according to the complaint.
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.”
