Neither Michelle nor Eduardo were indicted by the Federal Police and there is no mention of elements and evidence, at least in this first statement by Mauro Cid

According to Cid, one of the wings close to Jair Bolsonaro defended the demobilization of the president’s supporters of the president in front of the barracks. The group was formed by Ciro Nogueira, chief minister of the Civil House, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) Union attorney Bruno Bianco and Air Force Commander Carlos de Almeida Baptista Júnior.

Another group, also “moderate”, according to Cid, argued that the then president gave up any attempts to reversal the electoral result, as the process could dismiss in a coup d’état.

This ward Marco Antônio Freire Gomes, Army Commander, Paulo Sérgio Nogueira, Defense Minister, Estevam Theophilo, from the Land Operations Command (Coter), Júlio Cesar de Arruda, appointed to the Army Command in December 2022, Paulo Junqueira, , agribusiness entrepreneur, and Nabhan Garcia, then secretary of land affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Lieutenant Colonel’s testimony, finally, cites members of a “radical” wing around the then president. The group supported initiatives that could reverse the electoral outcome, such as an allegation of ballot box fraud.

In addition to Michelle and Eduardo Bolsonaro, they would also have participated in this group former ministers such as Walter Braga Netto, Onyx Lorenzoni, Gilson Machado, Eduardo Pazuello and Mario Fernandes. Senators Magno Malta (PL-ES), Luiz Carlos Heinze (PL-RS) and Jorge Seif (PL-SC) are also cited.

The “radical” group, according to Cid, also featured Filipe Martins, former advisor to international affairs, Valdemar Costa Neto, PL president Almir Garnier, Navy Commander Silvinei Vasques, head of the Federal Highway Police (PRF), and Angelo Denicoli, Major of the Army. Despite being cited by Cid as a member of the “Moderate” group, former Minister Paulo Sérgio Nogueira also joined the “radical” wing, according to the state-of-the-art statement.

In addition to Bolsonaro, former ministers Braga Netto, Mário Fernandes and Nogueira were indicted by the PF. Among the military implicated by the PF in the coup plot are Denicoli, Garnier and Theophilo. Valdemar and Filipe Martins are also among the indicted.

For the Federal Police, Braga Netto was a central figure in the criminal organization that intended to reverse the result of the 2022 presidential election. The former candidate for deputy in the plate of Jair Bolsonaro in 2022 is under pre-trial detention for obstruction of justice.

According to the investigation, the institutional break would include the arrest of Supreme Court (STF) ministers, as well as the murder of authorities such as Lula and Geraldo Alckmin, then president and vice -vice -elected. The execution plan was prepared by Mário Fernandes, according to the due diligence, and would have the operational support of “black kids” headed by Estevam Theophilo. Fernandes has been in pre -trial detention since the outbreak of Operation Contragolpe.

Another core of the coup joint, according to the PF, was in charge of gathering information to disbelief, without evidence, the country’s electoral system. Among the members of this group are Valdemar Costa Neto, Denicoli and Paulo Nogueira.

Filipe Martins is implied by the investigation as responsible for legal solutions to send an institutional rupture, and Garnier, according to testimonials collected by the PF, would have made his troops available to the coup.
