Lula, November 9, 2019

“Preciso provar que o juiz Moro não era um juiz. Era um canalha. Preciso provar que o Dallagnol não representa o MP, que é uma instituição séria. Eu tinha certeza que os delegados que disseram no inquérito contra mim mentiram em cada palavra que escreveram”

Portal translation: I need to prove that Judge Moro was not a judge. He was a scoundrel. I need to prove that Dallagnol does not represent the MP, which is a serious institution. I was sure that the police chiefs who said in the inquiry against me lied in every word they wrote

The translation is the portal's; the original text, in Portuguese, is the one that prevails.

Context

Where
