Randolfe calls for the arrest of a Bolsonaro supporter who claimed to have ordered the execution of Alexandre de Moraes (video).
“My men are already watching you. They’re already circling you in Brasília and São Paulo. My order is to execute you,” says Bolsonaro supporter Antônio José Santos Saraiva in the video.
247 - Senator Randolfe Rodrigues (Rede-AP), leader of the opposition in the Senate, has filed a complaint with the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) requesting the arrest of PSDB politician Antônio José Santos Saraiva, known as "Sarneyzinho do Maranhão," for posting a video on social media claiming to have ordered the execution of Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice and President of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Alexandre de Moraes, according to the column by journalist [name missing]. Igor Gadelha, from Metrópoles.
In the video, Saraiva says, “My men are already watching you (Minister Alexandre de Moraes). They are already surrounding you in Brasília and São Paulo. My order is to execute you.” “Watch out for your life, you scoundrel,” he adds. “Isn’t there a man in this country who can go in there and shoot that scoundrel, that bandit?” he emphasizes in another part of the video with the threats.
Following Bolsonaro's rhetoric, he also calls the magistrate a bandit and a "PCC lawyer," in addition to asking the military to stage a coup.
In the representation made to the MPF, filed this Thursday (15), Randolfe asks for “the taking of all appropriate measures, including arrest, for the investigation and subsequent criminal conviction” of the Bolsonaro supporter.
“Vicious threats to our republican and democratic institutions cannot stand, Your Excellency, under penalty of truly encouraging chaos, insofar as other authoritarian figures will feel emboldened to express their utterly criminal opinions; and, at some point, the exercise of verbal rhetoric may, unfortunately, turn into actual physical violence, as was recently seen in the harbingers of possible chaos in the Federal Capital,” Randolfe states in the lawsuit.
