Torres Claims Coup Draft Was 'Oversight' in Supreme Court Testimony

Former Brazilian Justice Minister Anderson Torres's testimony before the Supreme Court on June 10th, 2025, has sent ripples through the nation. The focus of the hearing was a draft document detailing a potential coup d'état, found by Federal Police at Torres's home. Torres, in his defense, described the document as a 'fatality of his routine' at the Ministry of Justice, stating, "This document...was intended for disposal." He further argued that similar discussions were prevalent in society at the time. The court is now evaluating the evidence and Torres's explanation. This event underscores the ongoing political tensions and the importance of transparency and accountability in government. The discovery of the document has raised serious questions about potential threats to democracy and the rule of law in Brazil. The ongoing investigation promises to shed more light on this critical situation.
