The validity of Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid’s award-winning denunciation gained a new chapter after manifestation of his own defense, which recognized the absence of coercion during the process. In an interview with CNN Prime TimeMaíra Fernandes, professor of FGV Law Rio, details the impact of this position on the arguments presented by the lawyers of the other defendants.
According to the expert, although the defenses of the other accused strongly question the collaboration, claiming that it would have been made under coercion, the argument loses substance when Cid’s own defense states the opposite. despite the disagreement with the police report and the indictment.
Maíra explains that voluntarity is an essential requirement for the validity of an award -winning collaboration. If proven coercion, all could be invalidated. However, the fact that the employee himself, through his defense, sustains the legitimacy of the process significantly weakens contrary allegations.
The sustaining validity of the denunciation from beginning to end by the defense of ICD, therefore, represents a significant obstacle to the strategies of other defendants trying to question the legitimacy of the process.
