Dino says it is “bad karatism” to link faction plan against Moro to Lula’s speech

The Minister of Justice, Flávio Dino, criticized this Wednesday (22) “scandalously false narrative” on social networks to try to link the Federal Police operation that investigates a plan of attack against Senator Sergio Moro (União Brasil-PR) to statement made by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) about the former Lava Jato judge.

In an interview this Tuesday (21), Lula said that when he was arrested in Curitiba he wanted to take revenge on Moro, who ordered his arrest. “It is vile, it is frivolous, it is inappropriate to link these events [a operação] with Brazilian politics. I am really amazed at the level of bad character of anyone who tries to politicize a serious investigation. An investigation that is so serious that it was carried out in defense of the life and integrity of a senator who opposed our government,” said Dino.

“We are seeing scandalously false narratives on social networks, saying that there would be a connection between Lula’s interview and these plans. This is nonsense. This is violence,” said the minister. “I gave, will give and reiterate all critical statements regarding the actions of the then judge Sergio Moro. It turns out that these statements critical of Sergio Moro do not, and will not, prevent the PF from protecting a person who is critical of our government. undue politicization is helping the gang,” he added.

Moro stated that Lula’s statement could end up “inciting violence against other people”. “Yesterday, President Lula made an unfortunate statement, which we have to repudiate and which even used profanity in relation to me. When a president uses this type of language and makes this type of offense, he ends up inciting violence against other people. ”, said the senator in an interview with GloboNews.

Earlier, the PF launched Operation Sequaz to dismantle a criminal organization that intended to carry out attacks against public servants and authorities, including Moro. Dino said that the investigations began 45 days ago, after being warned by the president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), that criminals were planning violent attacks against authorities, reported Agência Brasil.

The minister asked for seriousness in the political debate in Brazil and stressed that “one cannot take yesterday’s statement in isolation and link it to an investigation that has been months in the making.” “We don’t have any political apparatus of the State, either for or against anyone,” he added. Dino participates in this fourth meeting organized by the Institute of Lawyers of São Paulo (IASP), where he is expected to talk about ongoing actions at the Ministry of Justice.
