Sérgio Moro: We presented that same amendment, likewise, to the President of the Senate, Senator Davi Alcolumbre, and there was, there, sensitivity, even because of the outcry that came from society – for example, from religious organizations, such as entities that gather evangelical pastors or even the CNBB – to accept this drafting amendment.
Sérgio Moro: The text that was approved yesterday – we need to make a clarification here about how it has been reported – does not represent such a significant rollback compared to what was provided in the Clean Record Law.
Despite some targeted adjustments, the current rules of ineligibility for those who are convicted of serious crimes were maintained.
Sérgio Moro: So, Senator Confúcio, for example, for those convicted of drug trafficking, for those convicted of corruption, for those convicted of embezzlement, for those convicted of heinous crimes, the rules provided in the original text of the Clean Record Law are maintained, that is, they will be ineligible from the conviction by a collegiate body until the end of the completion of the sentence plus eight years.
Sérgio Moro: Does it seem exaggerated? I do not believe so. One who betrayed the trust of the population, for example by appropriating public resources, one who agreed to receive a bribe, or one who became involved in a criminal organization—the longer they remain away from politics the better.
