Video: A surveillance camera from the Brazilian Congress shows what the invasion of supporters of Jair Bolsonaro was like Clarín

Hundreds of people rushed into the Brasilia compound, demanding military intervention to overthrow the new president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Video from one of the Brazilian Congress surveillance cameras released in the last few hours shows how hundreds Jair Bolsonaro supporters marched in violently to this building and wreaked havoc while calling for military intervention to overthrow the brand new President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

In the pictures you can see how managed to force open one of the access doors with sticks and iron bars. With their faces covered to protect themselves from the gases and with shields, they entered the building in Brasilia.

They had previously cleared a police cordon and scaled the ramp that allowed them to enter the property. Another group advanced to the Square of the Three Powers and also to the Planalto Palace and the seat of the Supreme Court.

The video was broadcast by Brazilian outlet O Globo. Supporters of the now-ex-Brazilian President also reached the Black Room, which hosts various events and serves as an entrance to the Senate.

Bolsonaro’s former justice minister arrested

Anderson Torres, Jair Bolsonaro’s former justice minister who is accused of being linked to the attempted coup against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has been arrested in the last few hours.

Torres has been accused by the authorities of “alleged omission” because he was security minister for the federal district of Brasilia when thousands of radical Bolsonarists attacked congressional headquarters, the Supreme Court and the presidency last Sunday without much police resistance.

The former minister was arrested by federal police at Brasilia International Airport this Saturday morning as he disembarked from Miami, where he was vacationing.

Torres, who was arrested in a military police battalion, launched an investigation the same Saturday, but the content of his statements is being kept secret, according to federal police.

The former minister assumed command of security in the country’s capital on January 2 and five days later, and went to the United States to vacation without explanation, so he was not in Brazil when the riots took place.

In news published on social networks from the United States this week, Torres denied the attacks, claimed there was a contingency plan in place in the event of acts of violence caused by the marches and said the one found in his home document has been “taken out of context” which helps fuel false narratives” against him.

Speaking through the networks, the former minister also said he would put himself in the hands of the authorities because he was “sure the truth will prevail”.
