Braga Netto's defense appeals against the receipt of the complaint and questions the showing of the video at the STF

Former minister Walter Braga Netto's lawyers sent an appeal to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) to challenge the video used by minister Alexandre de Moraes in a vote to make reserve general, former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and six others defendant as part of the process investigating a coup plot in the country. According to Braga Netto's defense, “only part of the videos refer to the regrettable episode of January 8”.

Lawyers for the former minister say that there was no broad access to the evidence and that Mauro Cid's plea bargain should be invalidated

The defense of General Walter Braga Netto was the first to file an appeal against the decision of the First Panel of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) that made the members of the “crucial core” of the coup plan defendants. The lawyers filed an appeal called a declaration embargo - used to question possible omissions, contradictions, or “obscurities” in the judgment. Embargoes do not have the power to alter the essence of the decision, the merits,…

Braga Netto's defense considers that videos used by Moraes in the trial “go beyond the limits of the accusatory narrative”.

Lawyers say the piece is not part of the investigation
