Sérgio Moro: Also because, as it has not in practice been respected—the immunity is material—the procedural guarantee often ends up being a necessary remedy.
Sérgio Moro: Now, never... And here I say: we can never accept extending some kind of greater guarantee or protection with respect to common crimes, with respect to the misappropriation of public funds, with respect to the crime of bribery, of corruption, embezzlement, all crimes against the public administration.
Furthermore, we must be worried today because we see the growth, in our country, of organized crime, criminal organizations infiltrating more and more into the economic domain and, likewise, our institutions are not completely protected.
Sérgio Moro: We can indeed have members of organized crime seeking mandates, seeking public office, and there needs to be protection, a wall between the world of crime and the world of politics.
Sérgio Moro: That is why it is nonsensical in this scenario to think of altering the current constitutional regime, of creating mechanisms that, in practice, could represent impunity, that could even make it impossible to begin investigations against Parliamentarians.
