Padilha says Moro's bill favors militias linked to Bolsonaro.

Brazilian filmmaker José Padilha, director of the film *Elite Squad*, which already addressed the issue of Rio de Janeiro's militias, states that the public security project presented by Minister Sergio Moro favors mobsters and militiamen linked to the Bolsonaro clan. "Sergio Moro pretends not to know what a militia is because he has lost his independence and now works for the Bolsonaro family," he says. "It's obvious that Moro's anti-crime package will encourage police violence, the growth of militias, and their political influence."

247 - Filmmaker José Padilha, director of Elite Squad, delivered a harsh blow against Minister Sergio Moro, in article Published this Tuesday, he stated that his public security package encourages the growth of militias, which, in turn, are linked to the Bolsonaro clan.Sergio Moro pretends not to know what a militia is because he lost his independence and now works for the Bolsonaro family. Flávio Bolsonaro wasn't the most voted senator in 74 out of 76 polling stations in Rio das Pedras by chance...", he states.

According to Padilha, the anti-crime package that Sergio Moro sent to Congress "is a pro-militia package, since it facilitates police violence." He also points out that...In Rio de Janeiro, every six hours, on-duty police officers kill someone, and that Only 2% of cases are reported to the authorities, and few reach the jury trial.

"With the approval of Sergio Moro's anti-crime package, that number will tend towards zero. This is because the package stipulates that, to justify self-defense, it will be enough for the police officer to say that he was under 'fear, surprise or violent emotion'," he says.

Padilha also says that "it is obvious that Moro's anti-crime package will stimulate police violence, the growth of militias and their political influence." Finally, he states that the former judge is a kind of "anti-Falcone," referring to the Italian judge who led Operation Clean Hands and was assassinated by the mafia."His anti-corruption package is also a pro-mafia package," says Padilha.
