The minister of the (Supreme Federal Court) voted to validate the lieutenant colonel’s denunciation.
As a rapporteur of the case, the minister is the first to vote on Tuesday (9), in the trial of the 2022 coup plot.
Moraes stated that the extent of ICD benefits for collaboration with investigations will be appreciated later, during the analysis of the merit of criminal action.
“Any intentional omissions do not entail the nullity of the denunciation, but require necessary later analysis of total or partial effectiveness and consequently on the total and partial modulation of agreed benefits,” said Moraes.
The defenses of some of the defendants, such as () or, requested the cancellation of the award -winning collaboration agreement. Thus, the theme was approached at the beginning of the vote of Moraes, as part of the preliminaries of the trial.
The situation of the former orders of orders is one of those that arouses the most doubts about the progress of the process. He arrives at the trial at risk of losing them two years ago.
Under the terms of the agreement, Cid would be entitled to a reduced penalty in case of conviction and would avoid judicial impacts on his family members.
The denunciation, however, was marked by the military’s will. He did not share important information for the investigation in the first testimonials and changed a version of key figures in the process, such as the former minister.
The (Attorney General’s Office) asked the Supreme Court to convict Mauro Cid for the crimes of coup, attempted abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, armed criminal association, damage qualified to public heritage and deterioration of private heritage.
In the first week of trial, when defendants’ defenses were heard, Cid’s representatives were the first to speak precisely because he was a court collaborator. The lawyers and said that without the denunciation relevant facts such as Bolsonaro’s meeting with the armed forces commanders would not be known.
Lawyer Jair Alves Pereira stated that the reduction of the benefits of the military report would represent the end of the award -winning collaboration institute. He criticized PGR’s suggestion to reduce the benefits of a possible judicial forgiveness to reduce only one third of the final penalty stipulated by the Supreme.
“If his award -winning collaboration is solid, why wouldn’t he have the benefits he adjusted? It wouldn’t be fair that the state now, after doing it all, with several prison precautions for over two years, removed from his duties for more than two years. […]which now comes in the end and the state says ‘you helped me, all right, but now I’ll condemn you’. If we do this, the award -winning collaboration institute is over, “he said.
On the other hand, that of General Braga Netto, for example, used by time he had to question the denunciation. According to lawyer José Luis de Oliveira Lima, there are at least three points to certify annulment: the fact that the terms were signed with the Federal Police without the consent of the prosecutor, the lack of presentation of corroboration evidence and the evidence of coercion of the former joint orders of ().
Throughout the process, Cid chose to deliver to a formal request to go to the reserve before completing the minimum service time. Force created a commission to analyze the military documentation before making a decision.
Mauro Cid is 29 years old and 6 months of services provided by the army. He would have the right to leave the service active, with all the benefits, only after 31 years of work. In practice, however, a salary reduction in the reserve would be small.
