Não são verdadeiras as insinuações de que eu desejaria saber sobre investigações em andamento. Nos quase 16 meses em que esteve à frente do MJSP o senhor Sergio Moro sabe que jamais lhe procurei para interferir nas investigações que estavam sendo realizadas.

Portal translation: The insinuations that I wanted to know about ongoing investigations are not true. In the almost 16 months that he headed the MJSP, Mr. Sergio Moro knows that I never sought him out to interfere in the investigations being carried out.
