Sérgio Moro: We can point to legislative changes that were negative, such as the new Law on Abuse of Authority; the reform of the Administrative Improbity Law, which was excessive; the revision of the jurisprudence of the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) on imprisonment after conviction in second instance; and even the inclusion in the anti-crime package — a bill I presented to Congress — of some measures that were not positive for the fight against criminality.
Sérgio Moro: Of course that package had several positive measures, but some changes, unfortunately made during its processing, out of misunderstanding, ended up being negative.
We cannot take a step further and, even more so through a PEC, a constitutional amendment, place in the Constitution procedural mechanisms that, in practice, make it impossible for a Parliamentarian to be investigated for common crimes, for crimes such as corruption, participation in a criminal organization, drug trafficking, violent crimes, any kind of crime.
Sérgio Moro: The Parliamentarian must carry out his mandate with tranquility, but he cannot be placed above the law.
Sérgio Moro: Now, I do not see it as unreasonable, Senator Confúcio, for us to consider procedural guarantees for material immunity, and here in relation to specific imputations, such as, for example, imputations of crimes against honor, because there, indeed, protecting the Parliamentarian against disrespect for material immunity is something that is justified.
