National Council of Justice (CNJ)

In response to the CNJ, Moro said that lifting secrecy was necessary because, in the event of a conviction, he would have to determine the benefits of the cooperation; that the police presented corroborating elements only on September 24 and he waited for that moment; that there was no intention to influence the elections; that the Judiciary cannot stop because there is an election; and that the testimony concerned Lula, with no reference to the PT's presidential candidate.
