247 - According to the president of the STM (Superior Military Court), Joseli Parente Camelo, the decision by STF (Supreme Federal Court) Justice Alexandre de Moraes to investigate Jair Bolsonaro's former aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, in civil court was "very well-founded," reports the... Dashboard from Folha de S.Paulo.

Former right-hand man of Jair Bolsonaro (PL), Mauro Cid was arrested last Wednesday (3) on suspicion of having tampered with the vaccination records of the former occupant of the Planalto Palace and his family members.

Joseli asserts that military crimes are those against property under the administration of the Armed Forces, against military administrative order, or those that violate hierarchy and discipline. This is not the case, he says.
