Jair Bolsonaro’s former aide, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, who has been arrested in Brazil since May, will accuse the former president of masterminding the crimes he is accused of. Among the various crimes attributed by the Federal Police to Mauro Cid is the illegal sale in the United States of gold and diamond gifts offered by Brazil’s foreign governments during Bolsonaro’s rule, which he misappropriated for personal enrichment.
Mauro Cid will assume that he sold these valuable jewels, which were to be included in the Brazilian state assets, in the United States, but will argue that he did so on the direct orders of Bolsonaro, his superior, hierarchical and to whom he must obey. Also, according to the lawyer, Seed will confirm that he gave Bolsonaro large sums from the sale of these official gifts, either in cash or through secret transfers to the former president.
Mauro Cid, who during the four years of Bolsonaro’s rule was Bolsonaro’s chief adviser and confidant, who took care of both the official and private lives of the then president and his wife Michelle Bolsonaro, is believed to have witnessed the bombing of the former president. suspected of an endless string of violations, but against whom there is as yet no concrete evidence or testimony. Sid has remained loyal to Bolsonaro so far, taking responsibility for the crimes alone, but he seems to have changed his mind on the advice of a new lawyer, and also after realizing that while he has been in prison for months without any help, Jair Bolsonaro is at large, he denies all crimes and enjoys the millions of euros that he has collected in a way that is still incomprehensible.
César Bittencourt, Mauro Cid’s third lawyer since May, took the case last Tuesday at the request of the lieutenant colonel’s family, unhappy with his arrest and Bolsonaro’s impunity. Without going into details, the lawyer was very clear in the first interview he gave after accepting the case, remembering that the adjutant does not take the initiative, he only follows the orders received from his superior, alluding, without naming him, to Jair . Bolsonaro.
