Sérgio Moro: Therefore, I presented amendments that restore not only the current text of the Lei da Ficha Limpa, but also a middle-ground alternative that, at least, safeguards those stricter rules for the more serious criminality, whether against public administration or related to organized crime.
Sérgio Moro: Paradoxically, despite the fact that the draft of the new Code practically makes life easier for criminals, it makes it harder for law enforcement agents to participate in elections.
In the initial text that came from the Chamber, it was four years, and in the Rapporteur's text, two years of a cooling-off period for a police officer, a military officer, a judge, or a prosecutor who wishes to participate in the elections.
Sérgio Moro: They must leave their post and remain out of it for two years in order to be able to run in elections.
Sérgio Moro: I am not aware of any authorization in the constitutional text that allows establishing political restrictions, restrictions on political rights to certain categories, especially to categories that are related to the enforcement of the law, to combating crime.
