A month after the coup-plotting attacks on the headquarters of the three Powers, the civil investigation organs have advanced regarding some of the vandals involved in the depredations, politicians pointed out as omissive and members of the Military Police of the Federal District, however, nothing so far has gone anywhere near the many members of the Armed Forces.
Since January 8, at least 1,420 people have been arrested in the act or during operations launched by the Federal Police.
The absence of military personnel among the targets of accusations by the Federal Prosecution Service or even operations launched by the Federal Police takes place amid promises that there will be no impunity.
Part of the ongoing investigations sees the maintenance of the coup-plotter campsite in front of the Army headquarters in Brasília as one of the points that facilitated the attacks on January 8th.
In December, the Army suspended joint operations with the Government of the Federal District to remove tents and facilities from the Bolsonarist campsite.
The tension between the military and the government caused by President Lula's lack of confidence in the Armed Forces' performance during the attacks resulted in the fall, on January 21, of the Army commander, General Júlio Cesar de Arruda.
