New information appeared on Brazil about the riots, after the police found inside the house of Anderson Torres, former Minister of Justice of the South American nation during the government of Jair Bolsonaro and head of security for Brasilia at the time of the terrorist attack on congress, a decree to not know the result of the election.
This text, which had only three pages, was found in the closet of the politician, who is on vacation in the United States with his family, and decreed the State of Defense and the intervention of the Superior Electoral Court of Brazil. In the decree, he accused the members of “abuse of power and unconstitutional measures”, in addition to demanding “the correction” of the elections and the creation of an “electoral regularity commission”.
In response, Torres did not deny the existence of the document or try to say that it was planted, but simply commented, by way of trying to absolve himself of guilt, that, at the time, he had planned to shred it. “In my house there was a pile of documents to be discarded, where the material was most likely found. All this would be taken to be shredded at the time in the Ministry, ”wrote the former Minister of Justice of Brazil on his Twitter account.
