Prosecutors from SP, SC and ES identify businesspeople financing coup acts

The minister of the Federal Supreme Court and president of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), Alexandre de Moraes, received attorneys general from the states of São Paulo, Santa Catarina and Espírito Santo this Tuesday (8). They said that they have already identified the participation of businesspeople in financing the undemocratic acts taking place across the country. Along these lines, the Federal Highway Police also seeks to identify owners of trucks who blocked highways and will be punished.

The Attorney General of São Paulo, Mário Sarrubbo, reported that the actions of businesspeople and even city halls were identified in acts in front of barracks – with the installation of chemical toilets and food – and roadblocks.

“There is a large criminal organization [behind the protests,” Saburro said. “The idea is that we can take down this organization,” he added.

According to a UOL report, Sarrubbo stated that the investigations are now targeting the “financial flow” of the acts and that the meeting with Moraes served to exchange investigations into the case.

“There is something at a national level and we are going to work and the TSE will provide some information and with that we hope that Brazil can proceed without scams”, said the São Paulo prosecutor.
