Moro and Bolsonaro: accusations of April 2020 × support in the 2022 runoff
The author broke with or allied with someone they had previously supported or accused.
What was said
“O presidente me disse, mais de uma vez, expressamente, que ele queria ter uma pessoa do contato pessoal dele, que ele pudesse ligar, que ele pudesse colher informações, que ele pudesse colher relatórios de inteligência, seja o diretor, seja superintendente. E realmente não é o papel da Polícia Federal prestar esse tipo de informação.”
Sergio Moro, April 24, 2020 · Address · Address at the Ministry of Justice, transcribed by Poder360 · context and source
What happened afterward
- October 4, 2022. Moro declared on Twitter his support for Bolsonaro in the runoff, "against the PT's power project."
“Lula não é uma opção eleitoral, com seu governo marcado pela corrupção da democracia. Contra o projeto de poder do PT, declaro, no segundo turno, o apoio para Bolsonaro.” source
source - October 5, 2022. Bolsonaro said the differences had been overcome. source
How they explained it
In the sources consulted, as of October 24, 2026, we did not find a public explanation from Moro reconciling the 2022 support with the accusations of April 24, 2020 (the research did not include interviews after October 2022). The announcement itself justifies the support by opposition to Lula and the PT.
Note
This comparison overlaps with Moro: accusation of interference in the Federal Police (PF) (2020) × support for Bolsonaro in the runoff (2022) × justification (same statement and same 2022 support); kept because it has its own items. The 2020 accusation is Moro's and was denied by Bolsonaro; the comparison records only the change of alliance between the two, not the truth of the accusation.
