In a statement to the Federal Supreme Court, this Thursday, 24, the reserve general Mário Fernandes confirmed the authorship of the Green and Yellow dagger plan, but pondered that “it was not shared with anyone.” According to the prosecution of the Attorney General’s Office, the plan provided for the abduction or murder of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, then-president-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Vice Geraldo Alckmin.
“It’s just a digitized thought. Today I regret it, it was just a thought of a military man, who was not shared with anyone,” said Mario Fernandes, who was secretary general of the presidency of the Jair Bolsonaro government.
The general confirmed that he printed the plan to read the document, but soon after, “tore”:
“I printed so as not to force the view and soon after I ripped it. I didn’t share it with anyone.”
According to PGR, Mário Fernandes would have assumed responsibility for “monitoring and neutralization actions of public authorities, together with Marcelo Costa Câmara (former Bolsonaro advisor), as well as interlocution with popular leaders linked to January 8”.
In answering the auxiliary judge’s questions Rafael Henrique Window Tamai Rocha, who works in the office of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the general also confirmed the authorship of a draft implementation of a crisis office.

Mário Fernandes stated that the document would be only for the “advice” of the institutional security office in a possible crisis.
According to PGR, the objective would be to ‘establish strategic security and administrative guidelines for managing the institutional crisis’.
Then headed by General Augusto Heleno, the GSI would have the general coordination by General Braga Netto (former Defense Minister).

Mário Fernandes said he would be part of the strategic advisory, while the institutional relations advisory would be occupied by Filipe Martins.
The general stated that he even went between five and seven times in the camps in front of the barracks, where protesters asked for military intervention. According to him, it was “a civic party” composed of “humble” people. Fernandes denies having had dialogue with leaders of the movement, as pointed out by the accusation.
Mário Fernandes said he proposed Augusto Heleno and Braga Netto to participate in a public hearing in Congress to “denounce the electoral frauds.”
