Sérgio Moro: 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.
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.
Sérgio Moro: Of course we expect the voter to apply that filter, for the voter to exercise that scrutiny, but it is important, yes, to establish legal barriers, since many times the commission of certain offenses can even serve as a kind of competitive advantage over those who correctly abide by the law.
Sérgio Moro: Yesterday there was a victory for society with regard to the maintenance of the current rules of the Clean Record Law.
