Dino’s secretary has already said that arresting people to report is torture, but he sees a difference for Cid – 09/10/2023 – Panel

A 2019 tweet from the current National Secretary of Justice, Augusto de Arruda Botelho, in which he states that arresting people to inform on information would be torture, returned to circulation on social networks after Minister Alexandre de Moraes (STF) approved Mauro Cid’s denunciation agreement. , former aide-de-camp to former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL).

Cid left the Army Police battalion in the Federal District this Saturday (9), after four months of preventive detention.

The context of Botelho’s statement was to complement the statement made by former minister Antonio Palocci in January 2019. He had initially been sentenced by then judge Sergio Moro to a sentence of 12 years and 2 months in prison, but managed to reduce it to nine years and 10 days.

After the plea, approved in June 2018, Palocci was authorized to leave the closed regime and was placed under house arrest, monitored by an electronic ankle monitor, as will Cid.

Users of the social network X commented again on the original message, associating the 2019 context with Mauro Cid’s current one. The secretary tells the Panel that Mauro Cid’s arrest was ordered in accordance with the requirements that the procedural law stipulates.

“It was revoked because, according to Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the justifications for arrest were no longer present,” he said. “A completely different situation from other cases in the past in which illegal preventive arrests were ordered exclusively to force a plea bargain.”
