According to circles close to De Moraes, the judge should not lift the secrecy of the document, prepared by the Federal Police (PF), unlike what happened with the investigations into fraud in anti-Covid-19 vaccination cards and the embezzlement of jewelry and other items from the presidential collection.
For the magistrate, according to sources, maintaining secrecy, in this case, favors what they call the “quiet work” of the team of Attorney General Paulo Gonet, who has a lot of material on the investigations into the vaccines and jewels of the presidential estate, and who said that the time has come to “see the whole movie and not photographs,” and understanding the investigations, and whether the charges made by the Federal Police make sense or not.
The investigation of the coup, now concluded, includes these investigations and other inquiries into fake news, digital militias, and coup plots, which occurred before and after the 2022 elections.
A possible complaint in the case of the coup plot will be left for 2025, the PGR reported, because “good work is not done without careful analysis and criteria of the material collected (it requires time),” the Attorney General hinted.
In the report on the anti-democratic acts of January 8th, 2023, delivered on Thursday by the Federal Police to De Moraes, the corporation accuses Bolsonaro and 36 other persons, including former Defense Minister General Walter Braga Netto, and Augusto Heleno, who headed the Institutional Security Cabinet; in addition to five arrested last week (four military officers and a police officer) accused of conspiring to assassinate President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and De Moraes.
The 37 accused by the Federal Police are suspected of the crimes of violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, coup d’état, and criminal organization.
The investigation also concluded that there was a coordinated criminal group to maintain the previous administration after Bolsonaro’s defeat by Lula in the 2022 presidential elections.
