Sérgio Moro: What works against organized crime?
Sérgio Moro: First, it is necessary to identify and seek the criminal conviction of the bosses.
It is no use staying at the base of the pyramid, it is no use focusing on the intermediaries; one must, indeed, reach the crime bosses.
Sérgio Moro: And one only reaches the heads of organized crime through special investigative methods.
Sérgio Moro: In the past wiretapping was highly successful. Today, it is practically already a method that is very difficult to succeed with, given these encryption mechanisms, but infiltrated operations, cooperation agreements (plea bargains), tax investigations, bank account tracing and international legal cooperation are essential to secure successful prosecutions against the bosses.
