Bolsonaro ally angered by then-armed forces chief’s delay in acting and suggests arrest of Alexandre de Moraes
Federal Police records indicate a alleged planning a coup after the 2022 election result. The exchange of messages took place between the former major Ailton Barros and former aide to Jair BolsonaroMauro Cid.
The information was provided by journalist Daniela Lima, presenter of CNN Brazil, and was shared this Thursday 4. In the audios, Barros was dissatisfied with the lack of definition by the army chief at the time, Freire Gomes, whether he would join the coup attempt. The former mayor even spoke of arresting minister Alexandre de Moraes on the pretext that then-President Bolsonaro’s group of allies had “the pen and the strength”.
“Between today and tomorrow, Friday, you have to keep pressuring Freire Gomes to do what he has to do. Until tomorrow afternoon, if he complies, well, he makes a statement. So, taking a position like that, in defense of the Brazilian people And if he does not comply, Bolsonaro must make this pronouncement, to raise the morale of the troops, which you have seen, right?, which was sent in the early hours of Thursday 15 December.
The former major says that Bolsonaro’s allied groups are “almost throwing in the towel”. The idea was that Freire Gomes or the then president would make a statement so that, the next day, they would sign a series of decrees.
“It’s not difficult. The other party has the pen, we have the pen and we have the strength. A strong arm, a helping hand. What’s the matter, understand?” asks Barros. “The commander of the Goiânia special operations brigade must have the mission of arresting Alexandre de Moraes on Sunday, at his home, as he does with everyone else.”
The plan would be finalized the day after Moraes was arrested. And then on Monday the ordinance or ordinances, the decree or decrees which guarantee the law of order and bring into action the Armed Forces, whose supreme commander is the President of the Republic. If not, we will never erase the name of the Army again,” says Barros.
Ailton Barros is being held in custody in Benfica prison. He is under investigation by the federal police for participating in a fraud scheme involving proof of vaccination against covid-19, including the former president.
Instead, the Pf found other exchanges of messages that should be investigated, among these is the audio sent by the former mayor to Mauro Cid, in which he says he knows who ordered the murder of councilor Marielle Franco.
