Brasilia, July 4 (RHC)-- The Workers' Party of Brazil says that former Brazilian federal judge and current Minister of Justice and Public Security Sergio Moro, made evident during his testimony to the House of Representatives that he is a partisan and biased judge, driven by political motivations.

Gleisi Hoffmann, the Workers' Party (PT) president, said that the ex-judge’s contradictions left no doubt that he was an unfair judge after he gave what was his second testimony to Congress in Brasilia.

“He eluded several questions and lied about facts that are known, such as illegal wire-tapping of former presidents Luis Inacio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff,” Hoffman said.  She noted that the former judge was lying when he said he always behaved correctly during the Lula trial.

Congressman Glauber Braga said that history will not forgive Moro who will be remembered as the magistrate who was corrupt and acted unfairly and for his own interests.

Sergio Moro appeared before Congress to answer questions regarding the leaked messages published about the Lava Jato case by The Intercept Brazil beginning on June 9th.  A series of leaked conversations between Moro and the prosecutors of the Lavo Jato case revealed foul play by the two parties.

These conversations revealed Moro violated several articles of the Code of Magistry, which is why he appeared in mid-June in front of the Senate to comment on the online newspaper's findings.

Moro's testimony before the Brazilian congress raised major doubts about his impartiality, as well as his lack of ethics.  Moro ruled to imprison former President Lula da Silva to 12 years in prison in 2018 without having any proof of alleged acts of corruption.

Lula's imprisonment prevented his being able to rerun in the presidential elections when polls showed him leading the race.
