Braga Netto's Key Role in Bolsonaro's Post-Election Activities Revealed

Brasilia, Brazil - June 9, 2025. Lieutenant-Colonel Mauro Cid's testimony before the Supreme Federal Court (STF) has shed light on the alleged role of General Braga Netto in facilitating communication between former President Jair Bolsonaro and supporters who maintained encampments following the 2022 elections. Cid's statement revealed that Bolsonaro remained largely isolated after the election loss. "The president, since losing the election, became very reclusive. Official agendas ceased, and the one maintaining external contact, updating the president daily on events, was General Braga Netto," Cid testified. The STF's questioning of eight individuals accused of involvement in the attempted coup underscores the gravity of the situation. This testimony provides crucial insight into the network of communication and coordination surrounding the events of 2022. The ongoing investigation continues to unravel the complexities of this significant political event.
