‘They want to destroy me,’ says Bolsonaro before PGR looks like

Bolsonaro’s strategy to get rid of prison has been to try to convert his own cause into popular cry, even using a attempt at foreign interventions in Brazilian courts. An example of this is the tariff war began by US President Donald Trump, who has taxed in 50% Brazilian products that reach the United States, so that Brazil will retreat in criminal proceedings against Bolsonaro.

Without quoting the rapporteur of the action, Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the Attorney General, Paulo Gonet, or any other authority, the former president states that “they want to silence who opposes”. “And if they can’t silence with censorship, they try with threats, inquiries, prison or even death. Do not make a mistake: if today do this to me, tomorrow will be with you,” he wrote.

The final allegations are the last step before judgment actually occurred. The Attorney General is expected to ask the former president’s conviction. It is not yet known whether it will include in the document demonstration on the defendant’s early arrest.

As showed the Estadãopre -trial detention may occur even before conviction, supported by the Penal Code, in cases motivated to “guarantee public order, for the convenience of criminal instruction or to ensure the application of criminal law, when there is proof of existence of the crime and sufficient evidence of authorship.”
