In a statement made by the Brasilia military police, it was stated that a person was caught trying to enter the square called Tres Poderes, where Lula will be inaugurated, with a knife and fireworks on him. It was stated in the statement that the knife and fireworks on the suspect were found during a body search by the military police at the entrance of the square, and that the suspect, who was found to have come from Rio de Janeiro, was detained and taken to the police station.
A WEAPON PROHIBITION WAS IMPLEMENTED IN THE CAPITAL
In order to ensure security during Lula’s swearing-in ceremony last Wednesday, a ban on possession of firearms and ammunition was introduced in the capital until January 2, 2023. Alexandre de Moraes, President of the Brazilian Supreme Court, made a statement about the gun ban, stating that the ban was imposed on 24 December because a bomb was found in a fuel tanker near Brasilia International Airport.
