Sergio Moro, April 24, 2020

“A exoneração que foi publicada eu fiquei sabendo pelo Diário Oficial pela madrugada. Eu não assinei esse decreto. […] Vi que depois a Secom afirmou que houve essa exoneração a pedido, mas isso de fato não é verdadeiro.”

Portal translation: The dismissal that was published, I found out about in the Official Gazette in the early hours of the morning. I did not sign that decree. […] I saw that Secom afterwards stated that the dismissal was at his request, but that is in fact not true.

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