The federal police said in a report on Operation Venire that former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) was “fully aware” of the fraud in his vaccination card. In an order authorizing the action, Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), wrote that he considered “plausible, logical and robust” the hypothesis that the former head of the Executive, ” in a veiled way “, he researched “the possible advantages deriving from immunization, above all in consideration of the fact of not having been re-elected”.
Aligned with Bolsonaro’s interests during his rule, Deputy Attorney General Lindôra Araújo has refuted the investigative line. For her, former assistant Mauro Cid “planned and conducted the prosecution, in absentia, without the knowledge” of the former president. Bolsonaro has denied taking a vaccine or changing his registration. “I’m surprised the search and seizure of the former president’s home to create a fact,” he said.
According to a report by PF, there is evidence that Bolsonaro was aware of the fraudulent entry of vaccination data. The fraud, according to the company, could “have been carried out with the aim of generating undue advantages for the former president in relation to facts and situations that require proof of a vaccine against covid-19”. Bolsonaro and allies have always rejected immunizers.
Fraud
For the investigators, the documents would have served to circumvent the health restrictions imposed by Brazil and the United States. The plan, managed by Duque de Caxias, a municipality in the state of Rio de Janeiro governed by an ally of the former president, benefited his 12-year-old daughter Laura, Lieutenant Colonel Cid, their daughters, as well as advisers Max Guilherme and Sergio Cordeiro.
According to the PF, the registrations of two alleged doses in Bolsonaro’s name were launched into the Ministry of Health system on December 21. The applications are dated August and October 2022. Six days after the release, the data was deleted. Laura’s certificate was released in English by the ConectaSUS application on December 27th. At the end of the year, the family left for the United States.
Based on the report, Moraes said it was “essential” to carry out searches and seizures, in addition to arrests. The Attorney General’s Office (PGR), at a demonstration in Lindôra, expressed a partially favorable opinion of the offensive – it did not defend, for example, that Bolsonaro’s address was searched.
For Moraes, rapporteur of the inquiry into digital militias, Lindôra’s argument that Cid acted alone in the plan would not be “credible”. The minister said the evidence gathered “indicates coordinated behaviour”.
Passport
This Wednesday 3, Bolsonaro’s cell phone was confiscated. Moraes also ordered the withdrawal of his passport and weapons: the Stadium found that these items were not found. In front of his house in Brasilia, Bolsonaro said that the cell phone taken has no password because there is nothing to hide. “I have never been asked for a vaccination card, there is no tampering on my part,” he said. “I didn’t get the vaccine because I read the Pfizer flyer, that’s all and nothing else”.
At the PF, Bolsonaro said he will not issue a statement, scheduled for yesterday. The decision was made in a meeting with the president of the PL, Valdemar Costa Neto. In a statement, the party leader said that the ally “is a correct person, with integrity, who has improved the country and has always tried to follow the law”. According to the former president’s adviser, Fábio Wajngarten, there will only be one hearing after the access to the trial. “Bolsonaro will be available, as he has always been, to the competent authorities”.
In a statement, lawyers Paulo Amador da Cunha Bueno, Daniel Bettanio Tesser and Wajngarten said the former president “never received any immunization against covid”. “In keeping with his mandate, he only entered foreign countries that accepted this condition or were content to carry out a viral test”. According to them, Michelle Bolsonaro was vaccinated, but Laura was not, due to “comorbidity”.
Politics
Bolsonaro had imposed an age-old secret on his card. The Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva government intends to revoke it, but is awaiting investigations by the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) due to inconsistencies already identified in the register.
In the Senate, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) took sides in defense of his father and spoke of political action. “There is an orchestrated and overt attempt to assassinate the reputation of former president Jair Messias Bolsonaro,” he said.
The president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), has already stated that the operation against Bolsonaro must be kept separate from the economic agenda: “We cannot mix these controversies with the main agenda of the country, which is the agenda of the growth “. For the mayor, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), the operation requires attention. “We don’t need more political and social tension in this country,” he told GloboNews.
As the operation was launched in the morning, Lula used his official Twitter account to interact with users. “Good morning and happy Wednesday!” she wrote her. In the night, the official government report made recommendations on vaccination before going abroad and, in a mocking tone, concluded: “Get vaccinated, too tasty.”
