Moro may face pressure from the Centrão and the PT in Congress.

247 Former Minister of Justice and Public Security Sérgio Moro is the target of most members of Congress, a faction of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), and the Presidential Palace. 

In Congress, the combined interests of the Centrão (center-right bloc) and the PT (Workers' Party) have formed a majority to undermine a potential presidential candidacy of the former minister in 2022. The idea would be to point out possible crimes committed by Moro during his time as Minister of Justice, after he accused Jair Bolsonaro of interfering in the Federal Police. The former judge would have committed the crime of prevarication, for not having exposed the offense even though he knew about it. Together, the PT and the Centrão have more than a third of the votes in both Houses – the minimum number for the creation of a CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) to investigate Moro's allegations. 

Meanwhile, a faction within the Supreme Court criticizes the former judge's handling of the Lava Jato cases. One example is the jurisprudence established by the Court two years ago declaring the coercive detention of defendants or suspects for questioning unconstitutional. Moro used this tactic, for example, with former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. 

"The left and the center are more eager to get [former minister Sergio] Moro than they are to get [President Jair] Bolsonaro," he confirmed to [the source]. newspaper Valor Econômico an independent-minded congressman. 

According to the congressman, it is more likely that one of the nine requests to open a parliamentary commission of inquiry (CPI) to investigate Moro's allegations will succeed in Congress than one of the 31 impeachment requests against Bolsonaro.

After removing former president Lula from the election with a sentence lacking evidence (the Guarujá triplex case), Moro arrived in the government, but did not have the power he expected. His poor political maneuvering was evident in the vote on the anti-crime package, the showcase of his tenure at the ministry, which was led in the Chamber of Deputies by the Centrão bloc: the chair of the working group was Deputy Margarete Coelho (PI), from the PP party. For example, the section that broadened the exclusion of illegality and imprisonment after conviction in the second instance was not approved.

The former judge was already seeing his image deteriorate even further with the revelations from The Intercept Brazil about irregularities in Operation Lava Jato. According to the series of reports, Moro acted as a kind of assistant prosecutor to the prosecution.
