The investigation responds to a request from the Federal Police.
According to the PF investigation, the parliamentarian would have been responsible for organizing caravans of Bolsonaristas from Mato Grosso to the federal capital.

The pensioner told the police that Coronel Fernanda was responsible for organizing the transport with two other politicians. In the statement, Gizela said that the caravan would only support former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and denied having participated in anti-democratic attacks.
