The Federal Police should summon the chief minister of the Institutional Security Office (GSI), General Gonçalves Dias, to testify about the acts of vandalism on January 8th this week. The decision comes after the release of images showing the minister inside the Planalto Palace during the invasion, reported CNN Brasil, which published the videos.

The PF heard 81 testimonies from military personnel about the January 8 acts. According to CNN Brasil, corporate sources claim that investigators had already heard about the alleged negligence of Gonçalves Dias in the invasion of the Executive headquarters.

This afternoon, the minister temporarily left his duties due to health problems. According to a medical certificate issued by the Health Coordination of the Presidency of the Republic, he was seen by the department in the early afternoon with an “acute clinical picture and in need of medication and observation”, but without justifying the reason.
