The Attorney General of the Republic, , asked the minister, of the (Supreme Federal Court), to send the investigation to the first instance. According to the , the only authority with jurisdiction in the investigation is the former president (PL), already convicted in the action of the central nucleus of the coup plot.
According to Gonet, the pending investigation is focused, from now on, on crimes against public administration, which would not require action from the Supreme Court.
“All the information elements that concerned her have already been considered to denounce her – and condemn her – for executing an authoritarian power project (of which the diversion of the state intelligence structure was a relevant stage)”, he said, about Bolsonaro.
Likewise, (Army sergeant) and (federal police officer) were convicted last October in the case trial.
“The same outcome is not possible in relation to the others investigated. The remaining facts, not yet reported, have no immediate relationship with the authority holding special jurisdiction or with its anti-democratic purpose, even though they may remotely have favored them”, stated Gonet.
“The pending investigative hypotheses, as can be seen from the indictment made by the police authority, focus on offenses against the public administration, resulting from the violation of functional duties, which do not justify the actions of the Supreme Court,” he said.
The structure investigated would have operated between 2019 and 2022 to implement actions of a political bias and would be composed of federal police officers assigned to the (Brazilian Intelligence Agency) and intelligence officers who worked under the command of the then director general Alexandre Ramagem.
The nucleus would have acted as a counterintelligence center and, through state resources and tools, produced disinformation against the group’s opponents, especially those of then-president Jair Bolsonaro.
The use of First Mile (mobile numbers that allow access to geolocation) occurred within this context. There are also cases in which members of the organization researched or disseminated information on social networks against the targets of this clandestine structure.
The PF report on the case lists the episodes considered suspicious and disconnected from the normal uses of the intelligence service and several questionable researches. Furthermore, he pointed out signs of deviations in the acquisition of the first millennium tool itself. and the adoption of internal measures to hide possible clandestine activities and hamper investigations.
The case has 36 people involved waiting for the process to unfold, some of them under precautionary measures that include removal from their duties, nighttime retirement and restrictions on movement.
In a note, Intelis (Abin’s Union of State Intelligence Professionals) stated that it was necessary to “rescue the constitutional principle of the reasonable duration of the process”.
“The impacts of stagnation, however, transcend the individual sphere. Abin has remained for almost three years in an environment of institutional uncertainty that compromises its functioning and planning capacity”, says the text.
The entity states that the agency continues to pay for the employees’ salaries, but does not rely on their workforce. According to Intelis, Abin also faces unequal situations in the process.
“At the same time, managers indicted for obstruction of justice continue to exercise command functions and maintain access to sensitive state information, including potential influence over employees and managers who acted as witnesses in the investigative processes.”
The parallel structure would also have been used for Jair Bolsonaro in legal proceedings, attacking the credibility of the electoral system and producing disinformation.
On June 12, 2025, the PF delivered the report to the Supreme Court with the indictments, including the councilor (PL-RJ), son of the former president, the former federal deputy (PL-RJ) and federal delegate Luiz Fernando Corrêa, current director-general of the agency, were included in the list.
Jair Bolsonaro’s name was not included in this list of indictees, although the document attributes signs of criminal conduct to the former president.
The PF’s final report, however, “potentially” included the person accused of being behind the illicit conduct attributed to the agency.
In January, the (Comptroller General of the Union) opened PADs (disciplinary administrative proceedings) and recommended the dismissal of at least 14 intelligence officers and federal police officers allegedly involved in the . Even agents who were not involved are targets of the lawsuits.
In April, a group of civil society organizations filed a public civil action against the Brazilian State based on members of the agency during the Bolsonaro government.
