Bernardo Corrêa Neto

Bernardo Corrêa Neto is a Brazilian lieutenant colonel who has recently been in the news for his involvement in a controversial meeting with members of the military, known as 'kids pretos', aimed at pressuring the then-commander of the Army, General Freire Gomes, to support a coup plan favoring former President Jair Bolsonaro. During his interrogation at the Supreme Federal Court, he characterized the gathering as an informal 'meeting of friends' and downplayed the significance of a letter intended to rally support from active-duty officers, which he viewed as an act of indiscipline.
