Olympio Mourão Filho - Biography
Olympio Mourão Filho (b. Diamantina, 9 March 1900; d. Rio de Janeiro, 28 May 1972) was a Brazilian general who actively participated in the integralist movement and in the coup d'état of 1964. He was the editor of the Cohen plan, a document falsely attributed to international communism, which was used as justification for the instatement of the Estado Novo regime of Getúlio Vargas. On 31 March 1964 he ordered the troops of the 4th infantry division under his command in Juiz de Fora to march on the city of Rio de Janeiro, an action that precipitated the military coup a few days before the date planned by the conspirators. Between 1967 and 1969 he was president of the Supreme Military Tribunal.
