Moro's testimony, released by Celso de Mello on May 4, 2020 and made public on May 5, reports that on April 22, 2020 Bolsonaro demanded the replacement of the Rio superintendency and of the director-general, said he needed trusted people to obtain intelligence reports and that he 'would replace the director-general and the minister himself'; Moro said the pressure returned in January 2020 with Ramagem's name.
