According to reports, Brazilian President Lula recently stated that supporters of the former president who attacked the state power structure may have "internal help" and suggested that some members of Brazil's armed security forces were "involved."
Lula ordered a thorough review of the soldiers guarding the presidential palace because he was "convinced that the doors of the Palácio do Planalto palace, where the president works, were left open for outsiders to enter and that no doors were found damaged at the scene."
According to a CNN report, Lula also criticized on the 9th that "the Brazilian police and intelligence agencies are negligent".
He said, "It is easy to see in the video that the police are talking to the demonstrators. The police are obviously conniving." Lula vowed to find out who helped the protesters.
According to previous reports, on January 8, some supporters of former President Bolsonaro broke into the capital, the Brazilian Congress, the Federal Supreme Court and the Presidential Palace and other state power institutions.
Demonstrators climbed onto rooftops, smashed windows and wreaked havoc on the building.
After the incident, about 1,500 demonstrators were arrested, including former Brazilian Minister of Justice and Public Security Anderson Torres.
So far, 39 people have been formally charged.
