The cooperating defendant, Mauro Cid, said that he was present at the meeting with you, with adviser Felipe Martins and, as you also recalled, a priest was present at one of the meetings.
Desconhecido
And at that meeting a draft was presented to you, a document containing several recitals and some provisions, and you would have, here quote-unquote, in the terms used by the cooperating defendant, pared down that draft, that document, having made some changes.
Desconhecido
Do you recall that?
Desconhecido
I would like to have access to that draft.

The draft is in the case file.
But it has no header and no closing.
It must have only the recitals there.
That was put on a television screen and shown briefly there.
But the discussion about this matter had already begun without momentum, so nothing went forward.
The idea some raised would be a State of Siege, for example.
I even heard Minister Fuchs questioning Colonel Cid here about whether it was signed or not.
State of Siege, as is provided by our Constitution.
First, you must have a fact, obviously, and then convene the Defense and Republic councils, which was not done.
So, when some say that the start was given, the start is the convening of the councils.
Who composes these councils?
The president of the Chamber of Deputies, the president of the Senate, the majority leader in the Chamber and in the Senate, the majority leader, appointed by the population, some ministers — no one was convened.
to participate in a possible initiation of a proposal for a State of Siege.
And let's suppose it had been convened.
The president would send a message to the National Congress requesting authorization to sign a decree.
So, there is no such possibility that the president would sign the decree because one force commander did not want it and another did.
It didn't happen.
That.
What existed in practice was that, since we were prevented from appealing to the TSE out of concern about a penalty higher than the one that occurred — that of, if I'm not mistaken, November 23 — we sought some alternative in the Constitution and decided it would not proceed and it was closed.
Now, as a result, despite those meetings — apart from the one on the 7th, perhaps all the others were confidential — my defense team, two or three commanders and I, the conjectures about what was being discussed inside circulated freely.
So, we regret it.
but at no time did I, my defense, or the force commands even think of doing something contrary to the law, contrary to our Constitution.
Desconhecido
But I understood your answer, and I would like to know, also because on March 26 of this year, 2025, after the receipt of the complaint of Núcleo 1, including against you, you gave a press conference, and in that press conference you said you had access to that draft, to that document, that you read that draft, that document.
Desconhecido
So, I would like, if possible, that clarification.
Desconhecido
A draft arrived, a document, a sketch, whatever you want to call it, from Adviser Felipe Martins; did you shorten or alter anything and in that meeting on the 7th show it to the commander, to Admiral Eganier, to then-Minister Paulo Sérgio, and to Commander Freire Gomes?
There was no shortening, right?
It has the recitals; both the information that I have and what I don't have in Colonel Cid's phone photograph: there is no header or closing there.
I know Felipe Martins very well.
If he had participated in anything, I would be able to specify any contact with him here.
That is not true.
I just saw the lawyer of Anson Torres, Dr. Demósteres, saying that perhaps it was a colonel — he mentioned his name — who passed that material there.
So, I want to clear Felipe Martins here, as a matter of conscience.
Desconhecido
Anderson Torres's lawyer is Dr. Novak; Admiral Garnier's is Dr. Demóstres.
Desconhecido
I was mistaken, Dr. Demóstres of Garnier, I'm sorry.
Desconhecido
But, putting Felipe Martins aside for the moment, in that meeting did you show Commander Freire Gomes any document, as he said?
It was shown on the screen, the recitals quite quickly.
