During a meeting last Thursday in Rio de Janeiro, at the house of president elect, Jair Bolsonaro, the proposal of Moro for the post of Minister of Justice.
On that occasion, the lawyer asserted he accepted the invitation with 'the perspective of implementing a strong agenda anti-corruption and anti-organized crime'.
According to the ABJD, 'Moro could not, according to standing democratic norms, practice any act of political implication with the government elect or with any other while he was judge'.
By doing that, it stresses, 'he violates frontal and brazenly the norms that structure the action of a magistrature'.
For the ABJD, the conduct of Moro, 'recognized clearly even for international news media by informing on a trial without proof and political imprisonment of Lula, it was that of an accusing judge, pursuing a specific accused person in record time without respecting the right of defense and
presumption of innocence guaranteed in the Constitution'.
After the criticized acceptance of the judge, the lawyers of the defense of the founder of the Workers' Party (PT), decided to adopt measures to guarantee the right of former president to a just, impartial and independent trial.
Lula was incarcerated in April after being condemned without evidence to 12 years and one month of prison for supposed corruption.
At the moment of his arrest and even in prison, the former workers' leader headed all surveys for the presidential elections of October, won by the ultra-right candidate Bolsonaro.
Brasilia, Nov 6 (Prensa Latina) The Brazilian Association of Lawyers for Democracy (ABJD) criticizes today the decision to appoint magistrate Sergio Moro, who condemned Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, to accept the post of Minister of Justice of the next government.
