The former assistant of Jair Bolsonaro (PL), Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, testifies to the Federal Police this Thursday afternoon (18) in the investigation that investigates the alleged fraud in the vaccination card of members of his family and the former president.

Cid was arrested two weeks ago as part of Operation Venire on suspicion of having entered false information about vaccination against Covid-19 into systems between November 2021 and December 2022. According to the PF, the objective was to issue certificates of vaccination.

The testimony of the former adjutant is scheduled for 2:30 pm. Former president Jair Bolsonaro also testified to the PF in this same investigation last Tuesday (16) and said that he was unaware of any initiative for “possible falsification, insertion, adulteration in his vaccination card as well as that of his daughter”, said Fabio Wajngarten, currently advising the former president.
