TThe conspirators used their code names to hide their identity as they were preparing for their duties: to assassinate a famous Supreme Court named Alexandre de Moraes to divide Brazil into chaos.
In a encrypted messaging group, a Plotter used the name of another Japan and the third Austria.
“Each one had a team’s name, Mo Moraes said this week because he condemned the claim of killing him as part of South America’s greatest democracy.
Football -loving assassins group left their duties at the last minute.
“I’m close to the position. Will you cancel the game?” Austria asked his colleagues to his colleagues close to his home in Brasília, the capital of Moraes just before 9 o’clock on December 15, 2022.
According to a federal police report, “Abort,” he replied “Germany”.
The COPA 2022 operation (World Cup 2022 Operation) and the cinematic land, which includes at least six special forces unit, was at the center of this week’s former President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro. On Thursday, his leftist rival Luiz Inácio Lula, known as Lula, was sentenced to 27 years in prison for trying to organize a coup after losing the 2022 election.
“[He tried to] Destroy the fundamental columns of the democratic state of law, Mo Moraes said, Bolsonaro accused Bolsonaro of being the leader of a conspiracy, including the assassination plans of Lula and Vice President Geraldo Alckmin to stop them from taking power on January 1, 2023.
Moraes said he planned to “neutralize” using “extremely powerful weapons” that could pierce the Hitmen’s bullets; It is also alleged to kill Lula during a public incident.
“I am really grateful because I am alive,” Lula said after the emergence of the alleged poison plan last year.
Bolsonaro refused to interfere with a coup or assassination plan by calling such allegations as a “small story ..
However, Moraes said that the Extreme right politician said that the World Cup 2022 Operation, which the judge said that the Green and Yellow Dagger is a part of a larger intrigue called Green and Yellow Dagger.
Police Inspectors said that a copy of the plan for “terrorist reduction” and “secret operation” was published on 6 December 2022 by an army called Mário Fernandes in the presidential palace. Gen Fernandes, who was arrested last year, was a senior official under the direction of Bolsonaro.
“This [plan] Not printed in a cave. He wasn’t hidden in a room of terrorists. It was published in the Presidential Palace. It was published in the Brazilian government’s seat… At the same time, President Jair Messias Bolsonaro was there, Mo Moraes said on Tuesday as Bolsonaro’s hearing.
“Planning is so detailed that the chance of success, what the damage to the collateral may be, even details what weapons should be used, Mo Moraes added.
A copy of the Green and Yellow Dagger plan obtained by the Federal Police Inspectors, attack rifles, a belt -fed machine gun, and even an ammunition that includes an arsenal weapon in the battlefield in the Ukraine. “These are war weapons widely used by war groups, the police report says the police report.
According to the researchers, the assassination plan for Moraes was canceled because only a court session was postponed – and more importantly, the army and Air Force commanders refused to approve Bolsonaro’s coup plan.
Since it became a republic in 1889, Brazil has attempted more than a dozen coup, but none of them involved the assassination plan for those dismissed.
Historian Lucas Pedretti said that it does not mean that such lands do not exist. On the contrary, the 2022 plan had emerged, because for the first time in history, coup drawers were investigated and tried.
Pedretti said that the assassination plan was “shocking, but not very surprising”. The historian, who examined the brutal 1964-85 military dictatorship of Brazil, said that the armed forces still support the idea that the bloody regime was still a “necessary and legitimate reaction on a so-called communist threat.

To show
How did it start?
Brazil’s leftist president, João Goulart, was overthrown in a coup in April 1964. General Humberto Castelo Branco became the leader, political parties were banned and the country entered the 21 -year military administration.
The oppression concentrated under Costa Da Silva, the harsh successor of Castelo Branco, who came to power in 1967. He was responsible for a malicious decree called “Anos de Chumbo” (lead years), giving him comprehensive dictator forces, namely anos Anos de Chumbo ”(Anos de Chumbo” (Lead Years) until 1974.
What happened during the dictatorship?
The supporters of the 1964-1985 military regime of Brazil, including Jair Bolsonaro, give loans to the South American country by bringing security and stability and giving a decade of economic “miracle” brain.
In addition, the unfinished Trans-Famazonian highway and Rio’s Guanabara Gulf, including eight miles bridges, including various Pharaoh infrastructure projects came to the fore.
However, although the regime was less famous than in Argentina and Chile, he was responsible for killing or killing hundreds of opponents and thousands of more imprisonment. Among those who were imprisoned and tortured were Dilma Roussefff, the first female president of Brazil, and then a leftist rebel.
It was also a serious censorship period. Some of Brazil’s most popular musicians – including Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso – were exiled in Europe and wrote songs about their former separation.
How is it over?
Political exiles began to return to Brazil in 1979 after an amnesty law began to lead to the return of democracy.
However, in 1984, the pro -democracy “Diretas Já” movement, in 1984, took a series of wide and historical street rally in cities such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Belo Horizizonte.
The following year the civilian rule returned and a new constitution was launched in 1988. The following year, Brazil was the first direct presidential election in about thirty years.
Moraes, Lula and Alckmin’i accused of planning to kill the men accused of the army group, referring to the group, “this is especially valid for special forces,” he said.
Police believe that the men who participated in the Moraes murder plan are special forces operators known as “Kids Pretos” or “Black Cap Boys için because of the black caps they wear. Pedretti said that the group established during the Cold War still maintains the same “enemy elimination mentality ..
Pedretti, “Bolsonaro himself and his generals led by the coup attempt, this logic and ‘Kids Pretos’ expertise of the coup in the service of the political project,” he said.
