The wife of Jair Bolsonaro’s (PL) former assistant, Gabriela Cid, testifies to the Federal Police this Friday afternoon (19) in the investigation that investigates the alleged fraud in the former president’s vaccination card and that Mauro Cid has alleged organizer of the scheme, according to the investigators.

Gabriela Cid’s testimony takes place one day after her husband was also called to give a statement to the PF. Mauro Cid, however, remained silent.

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

Gabriela Cid’s testimony is scheduled for 2 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.
