Judge Alexandre de Moraes, instructor of the case for a coup attempt against the former president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro, has ordered the Police on Tuesday to reinforce the surveillance before his home to avoid a leak. The ultra -rightist is in house prison in Brasilia, where in a week the final phase of the trial will begin in which he can be sentenced to spend the rest of his life in jail. The magistrate requests that the accused be subject to surveillance 24 hours a day. The order comes the day after one of the parliamentary leaders of the Workers Party, Lindbergh Farias, requested the reinforcement of surveillance measures after ensuring that he had solid information that Bolsonaro intends to ask for asylum at the United States Embassy.
The former president is confined by order of the judge in the villa who shares in Brasilia with his wife, Michele, the daughter of both and another daughter of her. Last week, the Federal Police revealed that he had located on his mobile phone a draft asylum aimed at the president of Argentina, Ultra Javier Milei.
The defense lawyers of Bolsonaro argued, when the judge asked for explanations, that the document, which was not dated or signed, was a proposal that someone made to the extreme right leader, not reflecting a specific plan. On the dates in which the text was last retouched, Bolsonaro took refuge two nights in the Legation of Hungary, which also has an allied government.
Judge Moraes leaves the Criminal Police criteria of the Brazilian capital that the agents go in a uniform or countryman and what weapons use in the deployment. Yes urges them not to take intrusive measures towards Bolsonaro and their family or disturb the neighbors.
This morning, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has criticized the Bolsonaro, especially deputy Eduardo, son of the former president, who is in the US maneuvering so that the Trump administration presses the judges and his father is free. “What is happening today in Brazil with the former president’s family and his son’s behavior in the US is one of the greatest betrayals to the country,” said the president, who wants the parliamentarian to lose his seat.
The unpublished pressures of President Trump against Brazil – 50% and sanctions to several judges – to save his ally Bolsonaro have not had an effect. The next day 2 the Supreme Court will hold the first of the five sessions convened so that the five judges of the First Deliberate Chamber and issue a sentence to Bolsonaro and the military who, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, plotted with him a coup conspiracy, with plans of magnicide, so as not to deliver the power to the legitimate winner of the elections, Lula.
The other sessions are scheduled for September 3, 9, 10 and 12. Just in the middle, Brazil will celebrate the anniversary of its independence, an ephemeris that Bolsonaro and theirs have taken the opportunity to mobilize in the streets.
