Within the framework of the investigations that accuse the former president Jair Bolsonaro and another 36 implicated, among them former ministers, advisors and high-ranking military personnel, of the crimes of “violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, coup d’état and illicit association”, the Federal Police compiled evidence that implicate the former president in a possible coup plot.
According to the information available, to which the newspaper had access The Globe, The evidence points to meetings with high military commanders, draft decrees y plans that included the monitoring and assassination of key figures of politics and the judiciary.
One of the central elements of the investigation is the presentation, by Bolsonaro, of a plan before the commanders of the Army and Air Force.
This document suggested declaring a state of siege and create a commission to investigate the 2022 electoral process. The generals Marco Antônio Freire Gomes y Carlos de Almeida Baptista Júnior confirmed the existence of this plan, presented at a meeting in the Palace of Alvorada on December 7, 2022, a few days after Bolsonaro’s electoral defeat.
In the house of the former Minister of Justice Anderson Torresauthorities found draft decrees that outlined interventions in the Superior Electoral Court (TSE). One of these texts, dated 2022, included Bolsonaro’s name and provided for actions such as the celebration of new elections.
Although these documents were not signed or made official, it is noted that Bolsonaro was aware of them y requested modifications before leaving power.
Another document, titled “Green-Yellow Daga“, detailed a plot to assassinate key figures as Luiz Inácio Lula da Silvahis vice president Geraldo Alckmin and the judge of the Supreme Federal Court Alexandre de Moraes.
According to the investigation, the monitoring of Alexandre de Moraeswho played a key role in electoral supervision, would have been led by Mario Fernandesthen a senior government official.
The plot included surveillance of Moraes by advisors such as Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid. The objective, according to the Federal Police, was kidnap y later murder the magistrate.
The documents linked to the planGreen-Yellow Daga” were printed directly on the Planalto Palaceusing state resources.
According to the research, General Mario Fernandes made six copies of this material on December 16, 2022, which would then have been distributed in private meetings.
A day later, records show that Fernandes went to the Alvorada Palace, where he presumably presented the contents to Bolsonaro and other collaborators.
Before the elections, Bolsonaro met with members of his cabinet at the Planalto Palace to discuss strategies in case of a defeat.
During this meeting, the general Augustus Helenushead of the Institutional Security Office, argued that it was necessary “change the situation” before the elections. Meanwhile, Mario Fernandes suggested taking “a small risk of disorganizing the country” if the intervention of the three Powers in electoral supervision was not authorized.
He Liberal Party (PL)under the leadership of Bolsonaro, played a key role in the propagation of narratives about alleged fraud in the electronic ballot boxes.
These accusations culminated in a lawsuit filed in November 2022 that sought to invalidate the election results. In parallel, Bolsonaro’s campaign committee was used by allies to promote actions that encouraged a military intervention.
This evidence, collected over almost two years, points to a network of coordinated actions from the highest levels of the Bolsonaro governmentwhich underlines the depth of the attempts to destabilize Brazilian democracy. The authorities are advancing in the analysis of the events, which could lead to new charges against the former president and his entourage.
