Sérgio Moro: Current legislation provides for eight years of ineligibility after the completion of the sentence.
Sérgio Moro: The proposal in the new Code establishes that these eight years will be counted from the conviction.

Sérgio Moro: There is no justification for any kind of flexibilization of the strict rules of the Lei da Ficha Limpa.
Sérgio Moro: We do not want these individuals in politics. The longer someone who has been convicted of drug trafficking, organized crime or corruption stays away from political life, the better for our country.
