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.
Sérgio Moro: Perhaps this is a balanced solution that, in some way, protects the exercise of parliamentary activity at this moment when, worldwide — to tell the truth — there is a certain emptying out, there is a certain excessive restriction of fundamental liberties — these fundamental liberties are essential to democracy — but, at the same time, without weakening even by a millimeter the fight against crime and without strengthening, therefore, any protection in relation to crimes of another nature, common crimes, such as corruption, money laundering or drug trafficking.
For those, the regime we have in the current Constitution, in the current constitutional text, in my view, is already sufficient.
Sérgio Moro: We cannot here ignore the history of sad cases in Brazil's parliamentary life, in which unscrupulous people abused the powers of their mandate to commit crimes.
Sérgio Moro: Sad memory of Hildebrando Pascoal, who in fact was the head of a criminal organization.
