The messages were shown by Moro to TV Globo in images of the former minister’s cell phone. One of the images shows that the president sent Moro the link to a report on the website “The Antagonist” according to which the PF is “in the queue” for ten to 12 Bolsonar deputies.

• Freixo says he will take steps to prevent Ramage from taking over PF

The president then wrote: “Another reason for the exchange,” referring to the change in the direction of the Federal Police.

In the other conversation, Zambelli asks Moro to stay in government and accept the change in command of the Federal Police (one of the reasons that led the minister to resign). In exchange, according to her, the then Minister of Justice could be appointed to the Supreme Federal Court (STF). Moro replied that it was not “for sale”.

Felipe Santa Cruz, President of the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB)

“The allegations made by the now ex-minister Sergio Moro are very serious. They refer to possible personal interference by the President of the Republic who seeks to obstruct the investigations that would affect his allies and family members. These allegations must be deepened, they must be proven by those who declared, but, in fact, imposes on society the investigation of possible liability crimes. And, for that, the Bar Association prepares an opinion that will carry out the legal analysis of this issue. All this in the midst of a crisis very serious in that the government and Brazil should be exclusively destined to preserve life and the national economy. ”

Angelo Coronel (PSD-BA), Senator and CPMI President of Fake News

“Minister Moro presented overwhelming evidence against President Jair Bolsonaro. Evidence that the government of President Bolsonaro will obviously want to cancel the characterization, which is why I also call Minister Moro and the Valeixo delegate to the CPMI plenary so that they can also have a forum so that they can prove more things that happened behind the scenes during that period in which the Moro minister was minister. I, a priori, must trust the words of the minister Moro, because he has experience. I would not accuse, I would not shoot at the government if no evidence was kept to later dispute whether President Bolsonaro goes on to say he is lying. So there is still much to happen on that front. The National Congress must be active, must be vigilant to see who is wrong and punish or propose punishments for those who have committed a crime. ”

Randolfe Rodrigues (Rede-AP), senator

“The serious relationships in the dialogues between Congresswoman Carla Zambelli, the President of the Republic and Minister Sergio Moro are elements that lead us to request, within the scope of the investigation that is being instituted in the Supreme Federal Court, the rupture of telephone and communication secrets from both the president and the deputy. These elements are indispensable both for the impeachment process that is being carried out in the Chamber of Deputies, and for the criminal cases that are ongoing in the Supreme Federal Court. ”

Fernando Mendes, President of the Association of Federal Judges (Ajufe)

“If these conversations are to characterize some sort of effective political interference to the point of justifying accountability from a criminal standpoint, that would be a common crime, or even from a political standpoint, in an eventual impeachment process , will depend on how this is duly verified, clarified in the scope of the investigation that has already begun in the Federal Supreme Court. Therefore, the evidence is now under investigation, under the responsibility of Minister Celso de Melo, and is within This investigation must be evaluated, both from a legal point of view, if these elements are sufficient to characterize some type of responsibility, both in the criminal and political spheres. What we must always defend, and this is an assumption, is that There can be no political interference in the autonomy of the Federal Police. This is what we all want. ”

Carlos Sampaio (SP), PSDB leader in the Chamber

“The President of the Republic, when he tried to disqualify these accusations, was shown in the messages exchanged between former judge Sergio Moro and the president and also between Sergio Moro and the deputy Carla Zambelli, which were evident that the statements made by the president was not the least pertinent. In other words, he tried to interfere in the investigations of the Federal Police, and at no time did former judge Sergio Moro negotiate with the Supreme Court to accept the replacement of the former director general of the Federal Police. ”

Senator Major Olímpio (SP), leader of PSL in the Senate

“It is the perfect storm. Moro shows his conversations with President Jair Bolsonaro on WhatsApp in which Bolsonaro asked for action on the PF investigations. And a deputy apparently without decision conditions discussing with the minister about the eventual appointment in the STF. It is everything that Brazil does not need at the moment.

Paulo Jerónimo Sousa, President of the Brazilian Press Association.

“In the events related to Moro’s dismissal, characterizing the president’s attempt to use the FP for his personal interests makes his behavior even more serious and his tenure in the position even more unsustainable. Therefore, ABI decided to expedite the procedures to immediately file a request for impeachment of the President of the Republic. ”

Fábio Munhoz, Communication Director of the São Paulo Magistrates Association

“As far as is known, a police investigation was requested. As soon as the police investigation is opened, evidence will be collected to prove a certain criminal act and, possibly, who was the perpetrator. As there is news that there would be a crime committed by one or other, the parties involved often take the initiative and are already present before the police authority or the authority that will preside over the police investigation to present the evidence at their disposal, including to prove their allegations, insofar as this is true , that there is already a police investigation in progress, nothing prevents the parties involved from already knowing those who are entitled to it, in this case the supreme federal court the evidence they have, and in this case they are often excerpts of conversation, audio WhatsApp, screen printing. The Supreme Federal Court has precedents that authorize this type of evidence as absolutely valid. ”

Júlio Delgado (PSB-MG), federal deputy

“At the end of the day, Jornal Nacional brings Deputy Carla Zambelli committing a violation of ethics and parliamentary decorum, which will have to be investigated. And also a conversation between the President and Minister Moro, when he clearly tries to interfere in the actions of the director and in exchange for it in the Federal Police “.
