Brazilian Coup Attempt: Key Witness Reveals Bolsonaro's Role

Brazil: Key Witness Confirms Coup Attempt Document, Bolsonaro's Involvement - Lieutenant-Colonel Mauro Cid's testimony before the Supreme Federal Court (STF) has sent shockwaves through Brazil. Cid, Bolsonaro's former aide-de-camp, confirmed the existence of a document detailing plans to arrest members of the Supreme Court and the Legislative branch. "I saw the coup draft," Cid stated during his testimony, a plea bargain with the Federal Police. The document, which Bolsonaro allegedly reviewed and 'cleaned up', outlines a plan to detain high-ranking officials. The STF is currently questioning eight individuals accused of participating in the 2022 coup attempt. Cid's testimony provides crucial details about meetings where Bolsonaro presented the document to the leaders of the Armed Forces. This development adds a significant layer to the ongoing investigation into the alleged coup attempt. The detailed account provided by Cid, coupled with his plea bargain, lends credibility to the accusations and underscores the seriousness of the situation. The testimony has ignited intense debate and renewed calls for accountability. The fact that the former president was aware of and involved in such a plan raises serious questions about the rule of law and the integrity of Brazil's democratic institutions.
