In an interview published in Veja magazine, the senior official who served as Bolsonaro’s assistant explained that his former boss tried to hide the investigative targets of the coup attempts in that country.
The police sent the Supreme Federal Court (STF) a report on the actions of the Bolsonaro digital militias (supporters of the right-wing extremist politician) and a kind of step-by-step instructions for the attacks.

In September, Minister Aléandre de Moraes of the STF approved the agreement to betray the lieutenant colonel.
The uniformed officer is expected to provide more details about Bolsonaro’s illegalities in investigating the infamous jewelry case.

This diamond necklace was confiscated at Guarulhos International Airport (Sao Paulo).
Advisors to the then ruler tried to get the jewelry released.

Investigations revealed that the former president owned a third item of clothing, including a Rolex watch, which would later have been sold by Cid in the United States.
After the story broke in March, the Union Court of Auditors ruled that Bolsonaro must return the gifts, prompting his family’s lawyer, Frederick Wassef, to buy the watch back to hand it over to the government.
