The Brazilian Military Summit made the Federal Supreme Court a request: that (PL) is not detained in a barracks, if it comes in closed regime at the trial of the coup plot, sometimes in the final phase.
Bolsonaro’s arrest is widely seen as inevitable, the sentence should be decided next Friday (12), if this is confirmed.
The expectation in the Supreme and Army is that it grants the former president to arrest due to Bolsonaro’s health problems, but this only occurs in the appeal phase. It may be short of a few days, but it will lead to the question of where to arrest it.
Three main options were sparked, never publicly: a military unit, or the area reserved for prisoners most exposed in Papuda, the main prison of the Federal District.
According to two high-patent generals, the Army’s high command assesses that Bolsonaro would like to go to a barracks as he is a retired captain. General Walter Braga Netto is detained in a room in the 1st Army Division in Rio.
A military man who was at the unit last week reports embarrassment at the scene, but the concern with Bolsonaro is different: that a detention in Brasilia, perhaps in the Planalto military command, would generate a pilgrimage of allied visits or, worse, concentration of supporters in the vicinity.
Scammers around barracks in the weeks before January 8 haunts the uniforms, because this time they would be forced to act against protesters.
The option for the PF seems rational, given the isonomy with the case of (PT), which spent 580 days arrested at the agency superintendence in Curitiba. There, there was a constant vigil of allies, but since there is no limitation of concentration of people as there are around military units, the problem is lower.
An issue raised in conversations by Supreme Ministers is the eventual association, including PF’s Bolsonaro supporters with the arrest. Police, after all, are an agency of the federal government led by the petista.
There is then to Papuda, which would add an extra punishment to Bolsonaro – is a notorious and long history prison. Against this option, there is the idea that this from the former president, albeit for a short time. The final word will be from Moraes, if the prison hypothesis is confirmed.
