Sérgio Moro: 'We have a specific interest in the maintenance of the law', and the STF itself would still have appellate competence; it could judge this case in the future, in any eventual appeal that reached its hands.
Sérgio Moro: But the STF did not have, at least since 1999, competence to prosecute and try a former President of the Republic.
And it is very difficult for us to accept that, suddenly, it recovered that competence this year in order to be able to judge former President Bolsonaro.
Sérgio Moro: Let's hope that this vote is the beginning of putting things back in their place.
Sérgio Moro: If the STF proceeds to the merits and evaluates that merit, I saw in Minister Flávio Dino's vote yesterday — I read commentary, because I could not watch it in full — his reference to the possibility of recognizing minor participation for some of the accused, among them some military officers who appear on the defendant's side.
