Sérgio Moro: That is to say, let us treat everyone as equal citizens, but if the alternative is also to process them, as they say, in the regional federal courts, that seems appropriate to me.
Sérgio Moro: The regional federal courts are technical courts, composed mostly of career magistrates and are also capable of carrying out adequate, impartial and technical work in relation to any criminal cases against political agents.
What I cannot agree with is what has been raised only by the press, because I do not know if it will still be implemented, a proposal that investigations against political agents would come to depend on approval from the respective Legislative Houses.
Sérgio Moro: There, as they say, the remedy is excessive and kills the patient.
Sérgio Moro: Today, under the Constitution, in art. 53, §2, a criminal action brought against a holder of a legislative mandate may be impeded after the complaint is received before the respective House, which can make a deliberative judgment as to whether that action has political motivations or not.
