247- "For Nívio de Freitas Silva Filho, in the case where Lula's defense is requesting the judge's removal due to lack of impartiality, Moro is an exemplary judge. 'Moro remained impartial throughout the entire procedural process,' wrote the deputy prosecutor. It would be laughable, but it's not. It's something to lament and be vigilant about," says journalist Joaquim de Carvalho in Diario do Centro do Mundo. "If the issue of Moro's lack of impartiality is a settled matter for those outside this machine, the question remains: why does the judge act this way?" he asks, adding that "for jurist Fábio Konder Comparato, indignant at the way Moro acted to prevent the execution of a habeas corpus that would have released Lula (even if only for a few hours), Moro is an agent of the United States in Brazil."
"Moro is mentioned in a report from the US embassy in Brazil about a meeting on money laundering held in Rio de Janeiro in 2009, with the participation of the FBI. This report is part of the documents leaked by WikiLeaks. But Moro wasn't the only one who participated in the meeting. Other judges, federal police officers, and even Minister Gilson Dipp, then at the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), were there. What is beyond doubt is the judge's close relationship with the US State Department and the US Department of Justice, and this is nothing new," says the journalist.
