Bolsonaro was summoned to testify on Thursday of next week at the headquarters of the Federal Police of Brasilia, with which it will be the fifth time that he has declared since last March for various reasons, from jewelry smuggling, through the attempted coup on January 8, fraud in vaccination certificates against Covid-19 to be able to travel to the United States and attacks on the electoral system.
The investigation into the coup allegedly plotted by Bolsonaro businessmen is being led by Judge Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Courtthe country’s highest court, in charge of a mega-coup case that began in 2019.
The businessmen investigated for promoting a coup are Luciano Hang, store owner Havana, and Meyer Nigri, from the construction company Tecnisa.
In the texts, businessmen who are known for their support of Bolsonaro they advocated a coup in Brazil if Lula won the elections in October.
on cell phones meyer and Nigri, that were confiscated this year, alleged conversations with Bolsonaro were found in which the far-right leader told them in 2022 to spread false information “to the maximum” about the preparation of a plan to commit fraud in favor of Lula in last October’s elections .
“The analysis of the WhatsApp application messages contained in the seized cell phone identified that the three investigated messages were originally sent by the contact registered as 556182919606@s.whatsapp.net Pr Bolsonaro 8,” the report says.
sentences against military
The summons comes at a delicate moment for the defense of Bolsonaro, who has seen how 18 soldiers were imprisoned or prosecuted for various crimes from the scandals committed during his presidency.
The most serious case is that of Mauro Cid, former assistant who used his father, an aide-de-camp, to sell jewelry received by Bolsonaro and the first lady during the presidency at auction houses in Brazil and the United States.
It is being investigated whether Cid, who is being held for forging vaccine certificates from Bolsonaro and his daughter, deposited money in an account opened by a former president in the branch of the Bank of Brazil in the United States, which is why the banking and tax secrecy of the former president and his wife, Michele Firmo, his former parliamentary secretary, were broken.
Also Bolsonaro was charged last week by hacker Walter Delgatti before Congress for having summoned him to the Palacio de la Alvorada and the Ministry of Defense to collaborating in a media operation aimed at finding errors in electronic ballot boxes in order to supposedly have arguments to denounce fraud in the election.
