In a speech on Paulista Avenue this Sunday (7), the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, said that it is not possible to accept a conviction without evidence, referring to criminal proceedings against former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) about an alleged attempted coup d’état in the country.
“We do not bump into impunity. Impunity would leave an open holiday, a scar. But we cannot bump up a condemnation without proof. The condemnation without proof opens a holiday that will never close “declared the governor. “And if we are here today defending an amnesty, it is because we know that this process is tied. We know this process is addicted. “
The chief executive of São Paulo also defended a broad, general and unrestricted amnesty to convicts of January 8.
How it showed the CNNTarcisio met last week with the mayor, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), to deal with the bill, which is stopped in the House in an imbroglio among parliamentarians of the ruling base and opposition.
“All lawyers questioned the defense’s curtailment. All lawyers said, ‘We couldn’t make our defense.’ Does this give us a fair trial?” He asked during the speech.
Without quoting Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid’s award-winning denunciation agreement, a former Bolsonaro orders, the governor stressed that the only proof of the prosecution would be Cid’s testimonials, changed more than once.
“How are you condemning a person without any proof? What do they have? A single denunciation of a collaborator who changed version six, seven times in three days, under coercion,” he said.
Judgment of the coup plot
The trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro and seven other defendants of the so-called “crucial core” began last Tuesday (2) and continues this week.
In March this year, the five magistrates representing the Supreme’s first class made Bolsonaro defendant for the following crimes:
- Armed criminal organization;
- Attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law;
- Coup d’etat;
- Damage qualified by violence and serious threat against the union’s assets, and with considerable damage to the victim;
- Deterioration of listed assets.
Punishment
If convicted, Bolsonaro can take more than 40 years in prison. However, it should not be immediate, since it depends on the res judicata.
In addition, in case of conviction, the eight defendants should not be in ordinary prisons. Army officers are entitled to special arrest, according to the Code of Criminal Procedure (CPP).
The “core 1” is made up of five army military personnel, one from the Navy and two PF (Federal Police) delegates, who can also benefit from the restriction.
