Sérgio Moro: I'll go there and reveal this modus operandi of the PT (Workers' Party) governments of wanting to raise smoke screens to conceal their own responsibility, because it was INSS employees appointed by Lula, because it was a union that has as Vice‑President the brother of President Lula, who are the main suspects of this INSS theft, of this fraud, which victimized millions of vulnerable people, retirees and pensioners, who did not even have the means to defend themselves, because many of them did not even know that their benefits were being fraudulently deducted.
Sérgio Moro: Now, I hope and have faith that this CPMI, today chaired and reported by independent Parliamentarians, has the capacity to investigate, leaving no stone unturned, determining responsibilities and sending those INSS thieves to jail.
That is what we wish, as Parliamentarians here in the Senate, and that is what the population expects to be carried out.
Sérgio Moro: And, to a pleasant surprise, this movement in the CPMI also caused the institutions responsible for the investigation to move, and that prevention in the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) was simply...
Sérgio Moro: It was understood that there was no prevention and there was a free distribution of the cases, which ended up in the hands of Minister André Mendonça, who is known for his competence, but also for his independence as a magistrate with respect to the Government.
