'Moro's Live Stream' shows a former minister cornered by the Lava Jato allegations.
Sergio Moro participated in a live broadcast on the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo and showed nervousness about the barrage of criticism that the Lava Jato operation has been receiving, letting slip, once again, that he was a "self-serving" judge.
247 - In a live broadcast on the Mesquita family's newspaper, Bolsonaro's former minister, Sergio Moro, commented on the recent attacks on the task force and denied any electoral ambitions. Moro complained about the tightening noose around Lava Jato and reaffirmed that he has no electoral ambitions.
The former judge said: “I think Operation Lava Jato has nothing to hide. We worked these four years, from 2014 to 2018, under immense media and societal scrutiny. We suffered a lot of criticism, which is normal. (…) But the procedures were always normal. I don't understand this logic of revisionism, as if Lava Jato didn't represent something extremely positive, a great victory against the impunity of large-scale corruption. Those who attack Lava Jato today, I honestly don't understand where they want to go.”
A report from the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo He points out that "the minister also criticized the Supreme Federal Court's review of second-instance imprisonment and the administrative changes to the anti-crime law, one of Moro's main proposals as head of the Ministry of Security. According to him, both hinder the fight against crime in the country and were setbacks for the operation."
The former minister emphasized: “And now we are seeing a discourse questioning even the very existence of task forces within the Public Prosecutor's Office. They are an absolutely necessary Brazilian creation to have a team of prosecutors and police officers who investigate more complex crimes, because a single investigator is not capable of solving them. It is surprising to see these attacks.”
