Sérgio Moro: On the other hand, even if those people did intend, in fact, to promote an attempted coup, did that businessman have the same intent when he made that deposit?
Sérgio Moro: Did he imagine that that transportation would, in fact, be for that purpose and not for a peaceful demonstration here on the Esplanade of Ministries?
Notice that in criminal procedure, in criminal law, one needs to have evidence, and one needs to have evidence beyond any reasonable doubt.
Sérgio Moro: This is a fundamental guarantee within criminal proceedings; it is the presumption of innocence that is so often invoked in relation to the powerful and in relation to certain crimes such as white-collar crimes, but which is largely ignored in cases of this kind involving humbler people.
Sérgio Moro: I, personally, make no distinction: the presumption of innocence is a right for everyone, but it must be taken seriously.
