Sérgio Moro: So, the public security agenda belongs to the opposition and is not really that of the Lula Government, which has always been against any kind of hardening, whether when it was in opposition to the Government I was part of, or afterwards, now with the Government in the hands of the PT itself and Lula.
Sérgio Moro: And nothing illustrates this fact more than Lula's unusual reaction when the U.S. government, at the request of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, designated Comando Vermelho and the PCC as terrorist organizations.
Let's be realistic: this designation will make life more difficult for these organizations, especially regarding international money laundering, and also with respect to keeping their criminal assets—the wealth accumulated by these organizations—safe from confiscation; that is, it will facilitate investigatory and criminal prosecution work against these organizations.
Sérgio Moro: Not by chance, just yesterday I saw a newspaper headline saying that Brazilian companies, notably financial institutions, were already taking more concrete measures to avoid any kind of suspicious transaction with companies that might be linked to those terrorist organizations.
Sérgio Moro: Of course, this designation made by the United States does not solve all problems.
