Anderson Torres Denies Connivance With Coup Acts, Says “The Episode Will Be Completely Clarified”


After radical groups invaded the headquarters of the three Powers, AGU asked the STF to order the arrest in flagrante delicto of the secretary

Federal District Public Security Secretary and former cabinet member Jair Bolsonaro, Anderson Torres, classified the attacks that took place this Sunday the 8th afternoon in Brasilia as “barbarism” and denied collusion with the coup plotters. He also stated, in a statement published at dawn on Monday 9, that “the episode will be completely clarified”.

After radical groups invaded the headquarters of the Three Powers of the Republic, the governor of the Federal District, Ibaneis Rocha (MDB), decided to release Torres from office. The Attorney General of the Union asked the Federal Supreme Court (STF) to order the secretary’s arrest in flagrante delicto. The detention of “all those involved in criminal acts resulting from the invasion of federal public buildings in the national territory” was also requested.

“I deeply regret that preposterous assumptions are being raised of any kind of collusion on my part with the barbarities we are witnessing,” Torres wrote. THE former government Justice Minister Jair Bolsonaro is in Orlando, in the United States, where the former CEO is also located. “I am sure that this execrable episode will be completely clarified and those responsible will be punished in an exemplary way”.

On Sunday, the secretary said, also posted on social networks, having ordered the operational sector of the Secretariat of State for Public Security of the Federal District (SSPDF) “immediate measures to restore order in the center of Brasilia”. “Regrettable scenes now on the Esplanada dos Ministérios,” she said.

The acts of the coup in Brasilia were controlled by the security forces about three and a half hours after the start. Radical groups broke windows, entered offices and destroyed works of art at the headquarters of the Three Powers. At least 400 vandals were arrested in the act.

In the midst of questions about the role of the Ibaneis government in the face of acts of coup, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva decreed federal intervention in the security of the DF. Later, the minister of The Federal Supreme Court Alexandre de Moraes determined the removal of Ibaneis Rocha from the position of governor.
