“E vá em setembro pro STF […] Eu me comprometo a ajudar […] A fazer JB prometer”
Portal translation: And go in September to the STF […] I commit to helping […] To make JB promise
The translation is the portal's; the original text, in Portuguese, is the one that prevails.
Leaked message, not a public statement. Same as the previous message. Moro presented the exchange to refute Bolsonaro's version that he made Valeixo's replacement conditional on a seat on the Supreme Federal Court (STF). Bolsonaro does not appear in the conversation.
Context
Subsequent messages from Zambelli, in the same conversation, linking acceptance of Ramagem to a nomination of Moro to the Supreme Federal Court (STF).

Verification
Checked against the journalistic record: JN exibe suposta troca de mensagens de Moro com Bolsonaro, on Oct. 24, 2026. Three consecutive messages, reproduced in separate quotations by the outlet; '[…]' marks the cuts between messages. Poder360 interprets 'JB' as Jair Bolsonaro.
E mais: já que ele falou em algumas particularidades, mais de uma vez, o senhor Sergio Moro falou para mim: você pode trocar o Valeixo, sim, mas em novembro, depois que o senhor me indicar para o Supremo Tribunal Federal. Me desculpa, mas não é por aí.
Portal translation: And furthermore: since he mentioned some particulars, more than once, Mr. Sergio Moro told me: you can replace Valeixo, yes, but in November, after you nominate me to the Supreme Federal Court. Sorry, but that's not how it goes.
