Braga Netto seeks release after Brazil coup interrogation

correiobraziliense.com.br (Portuguese)

General Walter Braga Netto's defense has requested his release from preventative detention following his interrogation in the alleged coup plot investigation. The request was submitted to Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The defense argues that with the completion of interrogations, there is no longer a justification for his continued imprisonment. Braga Netto was arrested in December 2024, accused of obstructing the investigation. The court has lifted restrictions on communication among the accused, including former President Jair Bolsonaro, after the final interrogation. The case now moves to the final stages before a verdict.
