Sérgio Moro: This ensured that the core, the essence of the Clean Record Law, which is to keep out of politics those who committed serious crimes—such as crimes against the administration, drug trafficking crimes, heinous crimes, crimes committed by criminal organizations—remain distant from politics.
Sérgio Moro: And we saw the importance of this last week, when the news came of that major police operation that brought together Gaeco, the Federal Police, state police forces, the Federal Revenue Service and state revenue authorities against the PCC, against the infiltration of the PCC in the fuel market.
This same infiltration, let us not be deluded... With the financial power of these organizations, they can easily finance electoral candidacies in city councils, in municipal governments and, perhaps, even in federal legislative bodies or in the Executive Branch, including at the state or federal level.
Sérgio Moro: So, yes, we must have legal protection against these incursions by the world of crime.
Sérgio Moro: Yesterday, what we had was not, strictly speaking, a defeat for society, but rather the maintenance of an achievement that came with the Clean Record Law and that the Senate had the wisdom to preserve in its essence.
