clan, community Bolsonaro once again, it is at the center of a scandal that has consequences on the political agenda: the functioning of the government during its term. far right (2019-23) a “parallel” Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin). Federal Police (PF) follows in his footsteps Carlos Bolsonaro, At 41, his modest position as a city council member in Rio de Janeiro does not match the role he plays as part of his father’s elected entourage. Federal Police launched an investigation for the first time Alexandre Ramagem, Abin’s head Jair Bolsonaroand the first person responsible for the tasks illegal espionage. The natural move for the police was then to track down the mayor of Rio and raid his home. Ramagem and the former president’s second son are no strangers to each other. The press states the exact opposite. The former police officer and current member of parliament is a man close to Carlos Bolsonaro.
According to the São Paulo newspaper ‘Folha’, as evidence of Carlos’s role in the “parallel Abin”, the PF points to a message from one of the councilor’s advisors in which he asks Ramagem to collect information on investigations against the then head of state and his descendants. . “Good morning, is everything okay?… I really need help“On behalf of the legislator from Rio de Janeiro, Luciana Almeida writes to the intermediary of spymaster Priscilla Silva. She then sends another message with more detailed information. The message was found on Ramagem’s mobile phone.
Here is an excerpt from the Attorney General’s Office’s statement regarding the PF search request: “The ‘assistance’ request was related to investigations regarding the then-president’s children and himself.” “Carlos”political core“of”criminal organization“It was created for the purpose of knowing the movements, public and private views of the opponents of the presidential family, as well as the judicial cases carried out against them. According to the PF, there is a Israeli software, First Milea virus that can infect phones and track thousands of people, including occasional allies of the government.
secret actions
Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes predicts: “evidence found “So far, this significantly demonstrates that the criminal organization has infiltrated Abin to carry out covert actions against individuals classified as ideological dissidents.”
“Persecution”the former president said about the PF operation. His lawyers assured him that “the search was excessive” of Carlos Bolsonaro’s belongings. And they added: “Despite meticulous searches carried out by agents in all rooms of the property, no belongings belonging to him were seized, despite an apparent attempt to find anything that might jeopardize the impeccable reputation of the former president.”
The former president is barred from elective office until 2030 for questioning the transparency of the October 2022 election. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came to power. Former Army captain also under investigation for role in attempted attack last year’s January 8 coupamong other reasons. But now the PF’s focus is on trying to explain the actions of the patriarch’s second son, to whom he has always given preferential treatment. The TSF had targeted him years ago for his role in the so-called Cabinet of Hate, a kind of smear factory on the networks of the Government’s opponents.
However, Estado newspaper columnist Eliane Cantanhêde claims that it is not only Carlos who is part of this conspiracy. His other two brothers, Senator Flavio and Deputy Eduardo, did the same. “Like everything in the Bolsonaro Government, including the coup plot, The president’s three oldest children were on the front lines. Carlos Bolsonaro’s role in 2018 campaign was to manipulate information and create ‘fake news’ in favor of his father and against dissidents, critics or anyone else who might prevent the coup. And he continued to work for the Government, using public institutions, personnel and equipment, even illegal ones such as the First Mile program.”
Hidden threats
According to columnist Merval Pereira O Globo, the problem of illegal espionage is not only about the recent past, when Bolsonaro boasted at a ministerial meeting of having his own intelligence agency. “Ramagem’s plan is difficult to eliminate: one year later, His people still have a relationship with Abin. The investigation shows that, to date, Abin has been infiltrated.” And this is a problem that Lula has yet to solve.
A few hours before the PF began its work, the Bolsonaros, father and children attended a meeting. “super lively” as they say Brazil To far-right crusades on YouTube. The virtual event is part of attempts to improve political positions in October’s municipal elections. It’s not just about throwing anymore fake news nor speeches, but to educate possible representatives of Bolsonarism in this competition.
The former captain appeared before the cameras wearing the jersey of the Israeli football team. He defended the printed ballot and in his own way repeated the disqualifications of the electronic ballot box-based electoral system that disqualified him. He once again defined political responsibilities in the 8E events. Approximately 212,000 people followed the hour-long broadcast on the online political education platform “Conservative Action”. Each candidate running for an elective position must pay around 2,000 euros to join the new crusade of Bolsonarism.
