This Tuesday (18), the Federal Police launched another stage of Lesa Pátria. The tenth phase of the operation seeks to identify people who “participated, financed, omitted or encouraged” the coup attacks on January 8, when the headquarters of the Three Powers were invaded and vandalized by supporters of former President Bolsonaro, dissatisfied with the result of the October 2022 elections.
According to the PF, 16 preventive arrest warrants and 22 search and seizure warrants are being carried out in eight states – Goiás, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Pará, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and the Federal District –, as determined by the Federal Court of Justice.
“The facts investigated constitute, in theory, the crimes of violent abolition of the Democratic State of Law, coup d’état, qualified damage, criminal association, incitement to crime, destruction and deterioration or destruction of specially protected property”, he informed, in a note, the PF.
Operation Lesa Pátria is still ongoing, with periodic updates on the number of court orders issued, people captured and fugitives.
