PF found scam plan on Mauro Cid’s cell phone – 06/07/2023 – Politics

The Federal Police found on the cell phone of Mauro Cid, former assistant to Jair Bolsonaro (PL), a coup draft and “studies” to support an eventual coup d’état.

The information was disclosed today by GloboNews and the newspaper O Globo, and confirmed by UOL.

On the cell phone, a draft was identified for the enactment of the GLO (Guarantee of Law and Order), which allows the President of the Republic to summon the Armed Forces in situations of disturbance of order.

The expertise did not find evidence that the material was forwarded to Bolsonaro by cell phone, according to GloboNews. The documents were in messages exchanged between Cid and Sergeant Luis Marcos dos Reis, arrested in the operation that investigates fraud in Bolsonaro’s and his daughter’s vaccination cards.

In addition to drafting the coup, Cid and Reis also discussed how to convince Army officials to join or collaborate with the GLO.

Cid was at the PF headquarters in Brasília on Tuesday (6) to testify about the documents found by the PF on his cell phone. UOL found that Bolsonaro’s former aide refused to speak.

In the dispatch authorizing the hearing, Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the STF, states that Cid “gathered documents with the aim of obtaining legal and legal support for the execution of a coup d’état”.

The PF investigates whether Bolsonaro’s assistants had a plan to issue a decree of Guarantee of Law and Order and, later, the coup draft found in the house of Anderson Torres, former Minister of Justice.

According to GloboNews, Cid’s interlocutors, identified in the cell phone’s expertise, are now in the sights of the PF investigation, but some names are still kept under absolute secrecy, due to the prominent position they occupied in the past government.
