Video shows Gonçalves Dias inside presidential palace as supporters of Bolsonaro went on the rampage in January
After his election last year, president Lula made the retired army general Gonçalves Dias head of Brazil’s Institutional Security Bureau , which advises the president on defense and security matters and handles presidential security.
“I entered the palace after the palace had [already] been stormed, and I was removing people from the third and fourth floors so they could be arrested on the second,” claimed the general, a Harley-Davidson enthusiast best known by the nickname ‘G Dias’. As well as images of Gen Dias, the leaked footage included scenes that showed GSI agents greeting the pro-Bolsonaro extremists and serving them water as they carried out their attack.
Secom claimed that at the time of the “terrorist” attacks, government agencies, including the GSI, had contained remnants of the previous government who were subsequently removed from their posts. Investigators examining the events of 8 January had already questioned more than 80 military officials, including GSI agents, it added.
