The siege against the former president ends in the investigation into attempts to sell watches in the United States; Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid has decided to confess that he participated in a plan to misappropriate jewels of the Presidency of the Republic and name Bolsonaro as the mastermind
BRASÍLIA – Surrounded by federal police investigations, former president Jair Bolsonaro said during his mandate that he would never be arrested. There have been several public statements in this regard. In private conversations, he repeated the same threat: he would not agree to be detained.
In September 2021, during a speech on September 7, he had already warned: “I want to tell the scoundrels that I will never be arrested”. At that time Bolsonaro was not the target of the investigations that today could seal his fate.
According to the Metropoles website, in August last year, he even threatened in private conversations: “I shoot to kill, but no one takes me prisoner. I’d rather die.”
“I have 3 alternatives for my future: to be arrested, to be killed or to win. You can rest assured: the 1st alternative, to be imprisoned, does not exist. No man here on earth will scare me,” he told leaders with evangelical leaders in Goiânia on August 28 last year.
One of his main allies, the former aide to the orders of the presidency of the Republic Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, promises to confess that he has received orders from Bolsonaro to sell jewels received in the official diaries. The amounts were transferred to the then president in cash.
In parallel with the jewelry scandal, unveiled by the StadiumBolsonaro is also at the center of allegations of fraud in the electoral system.
This Thursday 17, the hacker Walter Delgatti Neto told the Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) of 8 January that the former president asked him to invade the electronic ballot boxes and hypothesize an alleged wiretap to compromise the minister of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes. “In fact, there was the idea that I would receive a pardon from the president,” Delgatti denounced without presenting evidence.
Valiant arrest speech lost steam after Bolsonaro left the presidency.
Bolsonaro told the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal in February this year that an arrest warrant against him could “come out of nowhere”.
“Over and over again they ask me the question: ‘Are you afraid of being arrested?’ Anything can happen,” he said on June 30. “Anyone can be arrested and you don’t say why, period.”
In this situation, the intervention of the former head of the federal executive was made in reference to the operation that arrested Mauro Cid, his now possible informant, for falsifying vaccination cards against Covid-19. Bolsonaro was against vaccination during the pandemic.
