Suspecting that there is an "internal response" to the recent violent attacks on state power institutions, Brazil's new President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced on January 12 that he would "thoroughly investigate" the personnel of the presidential palace.

　　Lula told media reporters that there was no sign of damage to the door of the presidential palace, "this means that someone helped them get in."

He also said the government would be "tougher, more vigilant and more cautious" about violent demonstrations.

　　In the second round of voting in the Brazilian presidential election to be held on October 30, 2022, Lula defeated the then President Bolsonaro.

Bolsonaro appealed to the High Electoral Court on November 22, questioning the election results and requesting the cancellation of some "disqualified" ballot boxes in the second round of voting.

The High Electoral Court dismissed its appeal.

　　Torres responded on social media later in the day, saying that the memo was one of many proposals received by the Justice Department and should have been "shredded in due course" along with other documents.

According to him, the memo that was exposed by the media "facilitated the false portrayal of him" and he "has a clear conscience."

　　Torres, who served as the Minister of Justice during Bolsonaro's administration, just took office as the head of public security in Brasilia earlier this month.

Brazilian Supreme Court judge Alexander de Morais issued an arrest warrant for him on the 10th.

　　Torres, who is currently on vacation in Orlando, Florida, was out when Brazil's state authority was hit.

He said on the 10th that he would end his vacation and return to Brazil.

According to multiple media reports, it is not clear whether Bolsonaro and Torres met in Orlando.

　　After the attack on Brazil's state authority, Bolsonaro criticized the action on social media, while saying that he had "always respected the constitution" throughout his tenure.
