Janot is outraged by the splitting of Moro's package, which will not include slush funds.
The former Attorney General of the Republic expressed indignation at the news that the Minister of Justice, Sergio Moro, will split his "anti-crime package," causing the proposal to criminalize undeclared campaign contributions to be processed as a separate bill in the National Congress. According to Moro, undeclared campaign contributions are not serious corruption. "Huh??????", Janot tweeted.
247 Former Attorney General Rodrigo Janot expressed outrage at the news that the Minister of Justice and Public Security, Sergio Moro, will slice up its "anti-crime package"...causing the proposal to criminalize undeclared campaign contributions to be processed as a separate bill in the National Congress. According to Moro, undeclared campaign contributions are not serious corruption. "Huh??????", Janot tweeted.
Moro's move comes after pressure from parliamentarians, who, according to him, asked that the issue of undeclared campaign contributions not be included in the package, nor be considered corruption. "There was a complaint from some political agents that undeclared campaign contributions are a serious crime, but not as serious as corruption, organized crime, and violent crimes. So we ended up opting to put the criminalization [of undeclared campaign contributions] in a separate bill," he explained.
In 2017, however, during a lecture in the United States, Moro, then a federal judge in charge of Lava Jato, He even went so far as to say that undeclared campaign contributions were "worse than corruption.".
