[10] He was summoned to testify at the 8 January CPMI on 13 July, but he remained silent, including questions unrelated to the prosecution, such as his date of birth.
[12] He also urgently asked for a Brazilian Air Force plane to take Sergeant Jairo Moreira da Silva to pick up the jewels in São Paulo.
[13][clarification needed] Mauro Cid was appointed as a member of the digital militias in an investigation by the Federal Police into Bolsonaro's livestreaming, where the president linked COVID-19 vaccines with HIV.
The group purportedly forged the data of Jair and Laura Bolsonaro, Cid himself and his family on December 21, 2022, with the aim of guaranteeing entry into the United States, which required vaccination against COVID-19 to enter the country.
[18] According to the Federal Police, between April and May 2022, Cid exchanged messages with exiled journalist Allan dos Santos, discussing the need for a military coup.
On May 31, amid discussions between protests by anti-fascist groups against Bolsonaro, Cid classified the movements as "terrorist guerrillas", and that "we are returning to 68, but now with media support".
[19] On December 15, Cid exchanged audios with former Major Ailton Barros, "Bolsonaro's 01", where they would try to pressure Army commander Marco Antônio Freire Gomes so that "he does what he has to do".
[24] Initially, he was represented by Rodrigo Roca, Flávio Bolsonaro's former lawyer in the "rachadinhas" case, but Cid's family assessed that he was more interested in protecting the Bolsonaro family than Cid, so they replaced him with Bernardo Fenelon, a specialist in plea bargains for whistleblowers who worked in Operation Lava Jato.
