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.
Sérgio Moro: 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.
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.
Sérgio Moro: Let's think of solutions, whether it is possible to use this PEC to, eventually, make deep changes that make clear a double standard: to prohibit, yes, the criminalization of a Parliamentarian's opinion, but never to open a door to impunity for common crimes.
