Torres' STF Testimony: Concerns Over Camps and Security Failures
Anderson Torres Testifies Before STF: Concerns Over Camp at Army HQ and Security Protocol Failure. Brazil's former Minister of Justice, Anderson Torres, gave testimony before the Supreme Federal Court (STF) on Tuesday regarding the alleged coup attempt. He stated, "I expected the new government to assume and immediately remove the camps from there on the first day or first week at most." This statement reveals Torres' concern over the encampment near the Army headquarters, which persisted after violent acts in December 2022. Torres further explained that he'd signed a security protocol before departing for the US, but a "very serious failure" occurred in its execution. The contrast between his initial sense of security and his subsequent despair upon seeing the invasion is significant. The STF testimony continues, with further details expected to emerge.
