The defense of Colonel Jorge Naime Barreto is requesting the reopening of the investigation into his role in the 2022 coup attempt. They argue that the recent case against Bolsonaro and other key figures (case AP 2668) reveals new evidence that impacts Naime's case.
The defense claims that the new evidence shows that Naime did not participate in the highest levels of decision-making, and that those decisions were made within the higher echelons of the federal government.
The defense is requesting access to evidence collected in the AP 2668 case to build a complete defense, arguing this evidence is crucial for contextualizing the events.
They claim the current evidence is potentially incomplete and/or misleading, and the full access of digital media is necessary to ensure a fair trial.
The request was made to Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The case against Colonel Naime is nearing its final stages before trial. In February 2024, the court accepted charges against seven PMDF officers for the January 8 attacks.
