A message attributed to former federal deputy Daniel Silveira, arrested this Thursday (2) by the Federal Police by order of the Federal Supreme Court, suggests a coup-plotting plan to frame Justice Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court. The message would have been sent to Senator Marcos do Val (Podemos-ES).
Do Val told Folha that he received the message after a conversation with Silveira and former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL). The parliamentarian cannot say the date, but he says that it occurred after the results of the elections and before the diplomation of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), on December 12th.
Do Val reports that he was on the Senate floor when Silveira called him outside and said that former President Bolsonaro wanted to speak with him. The senator, then, says that Bolsonaro asked if the two could meet in person – which happened, according to him, a few days later.
The senator claims that in that meeting in front of Bolsonaro, Silveira proposed that he record a conversation with the Supreme Court Justice and try to get him to fall into some contraction that could later result in his arrest. The plan, according to him, would trigger a rupture to the point that would not allow Lula to take office.
