Sérgio Moro: Really, a tough law against organized crime, and that was fundamentally important.
Sérgio Moro: This bill came here to the Senate and we worked on it.
I presented several amendments and the Rapporteur, Senator Alessandro Vieira, made adjustments to the bill that came from the Chamber, but he moved in the same direction — toward the need, indeed, for a real hardening against organized crime, both in terms of penalties and typification, but equally with respect to introducing into our legal system forms of financing public security and, likewise, new instruments for investigating the criminal phenomenon.
Sérgio Moro: The bill returns to the Chamber now; we will await developments, but large steps have been taken in this area.
Sérgio Moro: It's even a contrast, because I recall that when I was Minister of Justice, we sought the Executive branch's toughening of criminal and criminal procedural legislation and found resistance in Congress, because at the time the PT and parties linked to the left always made any kind of toughening difficult.
