Summary

This thread alleges that Flávio Bolsonaro, a Brazilian senator and presidential candidate, used his position as a lawyer to file appeals on behalf of military police officers accused of killing civilians, including a case involving the 2016 death of 5-year-old Ana Clara Machado. The thread argues these legal interventions have allowed accused officers to remain free and questions why such cases receive limited media attention.

What does Flávio Bolsonaro, presidential candidate in Brazil, has to do with the murder of a 5 year old in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro? An informative thread. 🧵 PLEASE SHARE THIS AS FURTHER AS YOU CAN

In 2021, Flávio used his position as a lawyer to release from trial the military police officer who killed Ana Clara Gomes Machado. He personally signed an appeal against the jury trial of Bruno Dias Delaroli. Five years after the crime, the police officer remains free.

It was the morning of february 2nd, 2021, when Ana was playing with her 2 year old brother infront of their house, in the community of Monan Pequeno. She was shot by a caliber 7.62 rifle 4 times, same kind of rifle carried by Bruno. The officers present on the scene only +

gave assistance to the child after lots of insisting by the community, minutes after the incident. Ana Clara Machado died as soon as she arrived at the hospital. When this officer was finally going to face popular trial and receive a penalty for his crimes,

a new lawyer entered the case. Flávio Nantes Bolsonaro, already a senator, exercizing his position as a lawyer. He signed an appeal presented in 2024 to overturn the decision of the Court of Justice that submitted the case to a jury trial. The appeal was denied by the Court. +

The case is no longer subject to appeal and Delaroli awaits judgment, in freedom. 5 years and 8 months after the tragedy, Ana Clara's mother still seeks for justice, and has to see one of the defenders of her child's murderer ontop of the electoral polls.

In 2020, Flávio also signed an appeal to the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) in defense of four military police officers accused of killing four men during an ambush in Morro do Vidigal, in the South Zone of Rio:

According to the MPRJ, the murders "were committed by ambush, given that the defendants [the police officers] hid inside a building, positioning themselves on a higher level than the victims, in order to suddenly attack them with shots fired from above."

The investigation revealed that the police officers allegedly broke into a residence in the morning and waited until the afternoon to fire the shots, which were fired from above, surprising the victims and giving them no chance to defend themselves.
#10
Now answer me: If all of those people I mentioned were "well known criminals", why all of those cases still remain murky and not adressed by the media? Does a 5 year old know how to even commit a crime? Why doesn't Bolsonaro's campaing address these matters formally?
#11
Because they are COWARDS, and the whole world needs to see that. They flinch when their crimes are exposed to the media, when their relations with milícias and the extermination of the working class are brought to light. Do not look away from those who died by his dirty hands.
