Brazilian General Accused of Lying in Coup Attempt Testimony

Brazil's Supreme Court released video testimony from General Marco Antônio Freire Gomes, former commander of the Army, regarding an alleged coup attempt. The testimony reveals a tense exchange with Minister Alexandre de Moraes, who accused the General of lying. Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet questioned Gomes about a meeting with former President Bolsonaro in December 2022. "Falseou a verdade na PF ou está falseando aqui," Moraes stated, implying Gomes either lied to the Federal Police or was lying during his testimony. The release of these videos is significant, providing transparency into an ongoing investigation into serious allegations.
