In ongoing proceedings at Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) concerning an alleged coup attempt, former aide Mauro Cid reaffirmed that former President Jair Bolsonaro edited and reviewed a draft plan for the coup. Cid also testified that Filipe Martins, a former advisor to Bolsonaro, was responsible for drafting the coup document and presented it to Bolsonaro and military personnel. During the hearings, STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes reprimanded and silenced Filipe Martins' defense attorney, Jeffrey Chiquini, including revoking his speaking privileges and rejecting several defense witnesses. Moraes also ordered official notification to Governor Tarcísio about allegations linking him to meetings discussing the coup draft, though Martins' lawyer denied accusing the governor. Meanwhile, Defense Minister José Múcio Monteiro, appointed by President Lula, requested and was granted exemption from testifying, citing no relevant knowledge of the case. Additionally, there were reports of a fraudulent entry of Filipe Martins' name into the U.S. immigration system with incorrect spelling, which his defense attorney claimed was a fabricated document. The investigation continues to unfold amid these developments.
