Braga Netto knows the Rio militias and knows what the Bolsonaros did last summer.

Zero Hora newspaper reporter Humberto Trezzi wrote a semi-biographical and laudatory report on General Braga Netto, who is referred to in the article's title as "the new conciliator of the Planalto Palace"[here].

Trezzi highlights the general's role in managing the crisis stemming from the failed conspiracy by Onyx Lorenzoni and Osmar Terra to oust Minister Luiz Mandetta.

The reporter states that Mandetta did not seek out either the conspirators or Bolsonaro to complain about the attack, but instead turned to one of the members of the military junta that runs the government, General Braga Netto.

For the reporter, the momentary appeasement was “Another victory for Braga Netto, the new oracle of the Planalto Palace. A native of Minas Gerais, he listens a lot and speaks little.".

Braga NettoHe embraced the new mission with fervor: to 'put the house in order,' in Mourão's words.“Trezzi explains.

In the report, a nostalgic Trezzi makes a series of laudatory remarks about the general's method and performance, stating that "slips little notes to ministers during meetings. like President Jânio Quadros did in the 1960s.” [sic].

Beyond the praise for a general who, paradoxically, heads the Civil House of a government that should be civilian, the most valuable information in the report is that which says that “Braga Netto won from his friends the reputation for having the CPF (Brazilian tax identification number), name, and address of every militia member in Rio.".

The reporter says that during the federal intervention in Rio, which lasted from February to December 2018,

"The Army managed to access the databases of the Rio de Janeiro Civil and Military Police and also created a map of criminal activity in Rio. This applies both to conventional criminal factions (Comando Vermelho, Amigos dos Amigos, and Primeiro Comando) and to paramilitary militias formed by former police officers. Not surprisingly, Braga Netto earned a reputation among his friends for having the CPF (Brazilian tax identification number), name, and address of every militia member in Rio.".

If Braga Netto knows “The CPF (Brazilian tax identification number), name, and address of each militia member in Rio."He certainly knows everything about the militia member Adriano da Nóbrega, the head of the Escritório do Crime militia.

Adriano, deliberately executed in the interior of Bahia, had received a trophy from Flávio Bolsonaro in prison while still alive, and until December 2018, when the "rachadinha" scandal broke, the militia member guaranteed his mother and wife's jobs in Flávio's office at ALERJ.

And General Braga Netto, being as well-informed as he is, must even know where Fabrício Queiroz is hiding, the clan's link to the Rio das Pedras militia headed by the now-deceased Adriano da Nóbrega.

Braga Netto probably also knows everything about Ronnie Lessa, who shared a neighborhood with Carlos and Jair Bolsonaro in the Vivendas da Barra condominium, and who is suspected of international arms trafficking and is in pre-trial detention, accused of the murder of Marielle and Anderson.

It is necessary to know where Braga Netto and the military junta's immense "ascendancy" over Bolsonaro comes from.

This ascendancy seems to originate less from the persuasive ability of the “little notes"From the general and his partners in the High Command, and more from the fact that Braga Netto knows a great deal about what the Bolsonaros did last summer."
