Sérgio Moro: And there is one more reason why this case and also the January 8 protesters should not have stayed in that Court: the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) feels attacked.
Sérgio Moro: It was, in fact, invaded by those protesters.
So, it is a court that feels assaulted, and a court that feels assaulted is not the best forum to have the necessary serenity to judge those protesters or even now the case of former President Bolsonaro and the generals.
Sérgio Moro: It is natural that, having been attacked, the court reacts in a way that seeks to preserve its dignity, its sovereignty, but with a certain excess toward its aggressors.
Sérgio Moro: In my view, it is this factor that explains the exacerbation of those sentences imposed on the protesters of 17 years, 18 years, 14 years, because one smeared a statue with lipstick, because another sat in one of the Ministers' chairs.
