The Advocacy General of the Union (AGU) on Monday submitted a formal request to the federal judiciary for final charges against 59 people, including natural and legal persons, for involvement in the January 8 Esplanada dos Ministérios attacks in Brasília. .
The AGU asked the defendants – including 54 individuals, three companies, an association and a trade union – to compensate the State for 20.7 million reais (3.7 million euros) for the material and moral damage caused that day. the congress and the presidency.
The stated companies are accused of financing the freight of buses that transported thousands of people who mobilized and camped in front of the gates of the army headquarters in Brasília to allow military intervention after the election victory of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on October 30 .
Therefore, the AGU points out that the suspects “knew” that the organization of these mobilizations could lead to the events at the time they happened, a theory that is “supported” when there are “calls” to participate. the intentions of non-peaceful actions and the takeover of power had already been explicitly pointed out at that time.”
This would show, the AGU points out, that there was an “earlier organization” where financing transportation was a “primary vector” for what happens to “grow in body” and thus distract.
The bank accounts and assets of the defendants have already been frozen. The AGU argues that in a democratic regime like Brazil, “convening and financing a movement or demonstration with the intent to seize power,” reports the newspaper Folha de São Paulo, is against the practices of democracy.
The amount of BRL 20.7 million requested by the AGU is based on compensation calculations, “already undeniable”, estimated by the STF, Palácio do Planalto and Congress, although the AGU does not exclude that the investigation will be able to continue to reveal ” damage even greater public property”.
To date, the AGU has filed four civil lawsuits against individuals suspected of financing or complicity in the January 8 attacks.
