It was expected, and it happened at a speed that was impossible until a few weeks ago in Brazil, ruled by the extreme right. The Office of the Attorney General (PGR, Office of the Attorney General) asked the Supreme Court (STF) this Friday to investigate former President Jair Bolsonaro. possible involvement as mastermind The attack on the headquarters of three State forces last Sunday.
The PGR has requested that the former Army captain, who has been in the United States since December 30, be included in their mission to illuminate the truths that shake that country and the world. there are hundreds of detainees. A few hours after 8E, Bolsonaro shared a video implying this, inviting those in charge of the investigation to be on target. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s victory at the polls In the 30 October elections, it came out in favor of the Supreme Election Board (TSE) and STF. Bolsonaro later deleted these images, but his message had already permeated the far right.
As a result of this event, the door was opened for Deputy Chief Prosecutor Carlos Frederico Santos, the coordinator of the newly formed Strategic Group to Combat Anti-Democratic Actions, to enter the scene. Santos made his request to the STF on behalf of 79 prosecutors. Also requested Facebook owns Metakeep the former president’s post even after it’s been deleted.
So far, PGR has opened seven investigations into the coup attempt, targeting not only those in Brazil as material writers, but also potential funders, instigators, and even public officials involved.
Other complications
After his election defeat, Bolsonaro took refuge in the Palacio de la Alvorada, the presidential residence in the capital district, and a call for silence was made. when he’s quiet the most extreme Bolsonarism blocked the roads and met at the barracks gates demanding a military intervention that prevented the start of Lula’s presidency by claiming to have won a contest whose legitimacy was flawed.
Before PGR made a request to the STF, press media analyzed the possibility that the former president could be investigated for another incident that scandalized Brazil: discovery of a draft decree Bolsonaro’s proposal for emergency measures at the home of former Justice Minister Anderson Torres “correcting” the decision of elections this was against the Government. Torres was dismissed as Brasilia’s Minister of Security for alleged collusion with the conspirators. It is located in the United States. Justice Minister Flávio Dino warned that his predecessor has until Monday to return to the country and appear before the Federal Police. Otherwise, a refund will be requested.
The three-page document is undated. It’s the content that’s scary. TSE was ordered to be placed under Executive control “to ensure its protection and immediate protection”. transparency reset and fixing the 2022 presidential election process”.
According to São Paulo newspaper columnist Cristina Serra folha Saint Paul, this draft decree”It is more than conclusive proof of a coup plot.” because “someone thought about it, sought a (nonexistent) legal basis, wrote it down, and handed it to Torres.”
After 8E, Lula was able to protect the Government. He had the support of the media, big corporations, and even regional governors who had been Bolsonarista days ago. It also received great international support and solidarity. “Brazil will never again have such an opportunity to face impact pollution. Sectors of the Armed Forces and the State security apparatus, including the military police,” Serra guessed.Bolsonaro must return to Brazil to be duly processed. Is it dangerous for me to come back? Will his return set fire to the insane rabble? A greater risk is the perception of impunity, which erodes trust in institutions.”
the route on the right
In this context, some of the traditional right began to move away from Bolsonaro. Former judge and current senator, Sergio Moro, He played a pivotal role in the former captain’s electoral victory in 2018, when he denounced Lula. Bolsonaro gave him the Ministry of Security. The relationship between the two deteriorated and Moro left the Government. The case against Lula was subsequently dismissed. The former judge became a conspirator from a republican champion. The hatred of the Labor Party (PT) leader once again brought him closer to Bolsonaro in the election campaign. Moro won his seat, but before the events in Brasilia he once again increased the distance he had highlighted with the disclosure of the draft decree. “It is clear that it is unconstitutional. The election result must be respected. Opposition must be made through democratic means, legally and without resorting to violence.”

Another possible investigation against him at this time was known for using his credit card excessively because of his statesman status.
