Sergio Moro said this week that he will present evidence that shows President Jair Bolsonaro's attempt to interfere in the Federal Police in the investigation opened by the Supreme Federal Court to investigate the case.
In an exclusive statement to Veja magazine (which has praised him in the past), the former minister also said that the request to open investigations made by the Attorney General of the Republic, Augusto Aras, was “intimidating”.
Aras asked to investigate the accusations made by the former minister, investigating alleged slanderous denunciation against Bolsonaro by the former judge who sentenced Lula.
The former judge said that the request to open an investigation that points to him as possibly responsible for slander and false accusation was intimidating. That said, he claims that he is at the disposal of the authorities.
What is the evidence? The magazine asked, however, Moro limited himself to saying that he will speak out when questioned by the courts.
Is what former minister Sergio Moro has serious?
He declared to the press: “I presented those messages. I didn’t like presenting them, it’s true, but I presented them solely and exclusively because in the president’s statement he falsely claimed that I was lying. Although I have great respect for the president, I cannot accept that he calls me a liar publicly.”.
Moro also made a point of saying that other government ministers would know about Bolsonaro's attempt to interfere in the Federal Police, it is real, it is not a grudge, says the former judge.
He explained that Bolsonaro knows who is telling the truth. Not just him. There are ministers within the government who are aware of this entire situation and know who is telling the truth.
The former minister who supports the Bolsonaro government said he is not afraid of the attacks made by pro-Bolsonaro groups on the internet, but is bothered by the mentions of his wife, lawyer Rosângela Moro.
“They attacked my wife and are creating and distributing dossiers against her with absolutely false information. She has never done anything wrong. Neither she nor I have done anything wrong. These same methods of intimidation were used back then, during Lava Jato, when the person being investigated and prosecuted was former president Lula,” he told the newspaper O Globo.
