The Brazilian justice considers “active” the participation of the relative of the ex-president in the actions whose main objective was to generate riots and question the power of Lula Da Silva, recently assumed after the victory in the second round.
The familiar, known as Leonardo Rodrigues de Jesus is being investigated by the Federal Supreme Court (STF) of Brazil and was inserted by decision of Supreme Court judge Dias Toffoli, who accepted a request from the Attorney General’s Office.
Bolsonaro’s nephew shared images and videos on their social networks about the coup attempt and it was shown at the doors of Congress, one of the three vandalized venues.
What is the link with Bolsonaro? He is the cousin of two of the three children of the leader of the Liberal Party (PL). He was an adviser in the Rio de Janeiro Assembly, held positions of trust in Bolsonaro political teams and competed for a deputy in Brasilia in the 2022 elections.
Bolsonaro denied having been the instigator of the coup acts
In his statements before the Court for alleged participation in the January coup act, Bolsonaro denied having been the instigator of the coup acts of January 8 and, surprisingly and before the Federal Police, he argued that he posted on Facebook a video with false information about electoral fraud against him by “mistake” and under the influence of a drug, his lawyers reported.
He did so by declaring for two hours before the Federal Police, who summoned him for having posted, after the coup attempt, a video in which they questioned, with false information, the October 2022 elections won by Lula and for which Bolsonaro never admitted defeat.
The far-right declared in the Superintendency of the Federal Police of Brasilia by order of Judge Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court, who is leading the mega-cause for the acts of January 8, when thousands of Bolsonarists who asked the Army to intervene to overthrow Lula they invaded the Planalto Palace, the Congress and the seat of the Court.
