O Former judge Sergio Moro and his “conja” Rosangela Moro were prosecuted on suspicion of electoral fraud. The investigation will be conducted by the Federal Police. If found guilty, they may be sentenced to imprisonment for up to five years and a fine of 5 to 15 days, as provided for in Article 289 of the Electoral Code, namely:
“Art. 289. Fraudulent voter registration:
Punishment – imprisonment for up to five years and a fine from five to 15 days.

The decision is made by prosecutor Reinaldo Mapelli Junior of the São Paulo Public Electoral Ministry. But what is really the catch? Transfer from Curitiba to Sao Paulo of the duo’s residence. As is known, infamous and widely known – especially in the courts – the couple lives in Curitiba and has all their connections there, including workers.

The justifications that the two presented to the Electoral Ministry in an attempt to prove links to the city of São Paulo did not convince prosecutor Mapelli Junior, who decided an investigation was necessary. He lays out the reasons on 19 pages. Trust me, the “shame of others” comes out when we read. And these are two lawyers – one of them is a former judge …

The investigation by the Electoral Prosecutor’s Office began with the presentation of a piece of news actually formulated by businesswoman Roberta Moreira Luchsinger. She listed widely reported facts in the press pointing to the possible fraudulent transfer of residence in the elections by both Moro and Rosangela. The relevant defense sent explanations to the prosecutor, but he considered them insufficient. Wrote:
“The explanations presented by SERGIO FERNANDO MORO and ROSANGELA MARIA WOLF QUADROS DE MORO, at this stage of total knowledge and the predominance of the principle in dubio pro societate, are understood as the public interest in investigating alleged criminal acts, when there are signs of authorship and materiality – not to convince, imposing the need deepening the investigation for a better understanding of the facts.

And that’s why PF will come into play. And what explanations did not convince? We will see.

1: Last minute lease agreement
As the only evidence of his connection with the city of São Paulo, Moro presented a real estate lease signed by Rosangela on March 28. She changed her electoral residence on the 29th; he, 30. Among other things, the prosecutor wants the terms of this contract to be examined to see if it really reflects reality: after all, the couple lives in São Paulo?

And it was at this point that the duo seemed to shoot themselves in the foot.

2: Efficient communication with the city of Sao Paulo.
The Prosecutor notes that the jurisprudence of the Electoral Court does not in fact limit the electoral residence to the civil residence. Other ties are also being considered: affective, family, professional, community, etc. This is what is contained in article 23 of resolution 23.659/2021. It just so happens that the breadth and fluidity of the bonding concept doesn’t justify MMA.

The prosecutor notes that, according to the law, two requirements are necessary to confirm the electoral residence:
1: that the connection is real, that is: it cannot be a mere drop in legislation;
2: that it exists for at least three months at the time of transfer.

While it is common knowledge and knowledge that the couple lives in Curitiba and made their careers there, the duo claims such “links” to São Paulo. Which?

MORO LINKS WITH SP, SECOND MORO
– received the Order of Ipirangi, the degree of the Grand Cross;
– received honorary titles of citizens of the cities of Sorocaba, Rio Grande da Serra and Itaquaquecetuba;
– worked for Álvarez & Marsal, which has an office in Sao Paulo;
– used a room in the Continental Hotel as his political office.

Are you ashamed, reader? I do not live!

The promoter notes:
“At least at this stage of the investigation, when witnesses have not yet been heard and no additional corroborating evidence has been collected, SERGIO MORO’s weak argument that he has a connection with the city of São Paulo cannot be accepted, since he received honors in accordance with the documents presented to them. — one from the Grand Cross of the Order of Ipiranga is a state award, and others from other cities of São Paulo, not from São Paulo/SP (Sorocaba, Rio Grande da Serra and Itaquaquecetuba) — ; or who was employed by Alvarez & Marsal is a company for which he provided services for a short period of time in the United States, which is headquartered in New York, which is irrelevant as it obviously has an office in the city of Sao Paulo – ; or even that he may have participated in some political meetings at the Continental da Alameda Santos hotel no. , documents to be reviewed as they are not final)”.

It should be noted that even in pointing out these “links” to São Paulo, Moro limited himself to presenting his wife’s lease as a unique link to the city. Technical issues have been reported and will be investigated.

ROSANGELA’S RELATIONSHIPS WITH SP, ACCORDING TO ROSANGELA
And what about Rosangela Moro’s connections with the city of São Paulo? What will they be? Can I help! Promoter writes:
“The argument that ROSANGELA will have a connection with São Paulo/SP seems very fragile for the development of work with CASA HUNTER from 12/15/2016, the famous Brazilian association for the protection of people with rare diseases and disabilities (Contract for the Provision of Advocates), nothing worthwhile, including the authorship of the book “Rare Diseases and Public Policy: Understand, Welcome and Participate”, published by Editora Matriz in March 2020, as evidenced by research on the world wide web, because what electoral legislation requires is effective communication with the city that also in relation to this point of contention (employment in a company based in Sao Paulo) should be investigated in the course of an investigation aimed at establishing the truth.”

You read it right: elective residency seems to have become as arbitrary for Moro and his gang as Curitiba’s right to judge whatever he wants when he was a judge of the 13th Federal Court. See there: Rosangela is a lawyer for an organization based in São Paulo and this will create a “bond”.

The prosecutor notes that both “admittedly residents, lawyers and politicians of the City of Curitiba/PR” in that “transferred directly from the computerized voter registration system to the polling house for the 5th electoral zone of São Paulo – Jardim Paulista, using only a lease agreement for part of the building located at Rua João Cachoeira nº 292, signed shortly before, apparently for the purpose of confirmation of residence as the basis for choosing the municipality of São Paulo”.

And continues: “They say they live there, as indicated in the power of attorney issued by the famous lawyers, a situation that in itself requires a criminal investigation to verify whether the registration was fraudulent or not, since the behavior is characterized as an electoral crime (Article 289 of the Electoral Code), including taking into account the obvious fragility of other links, assumed a posteriori (…).”

MINIMUM RELATIONSHIP IS THREE MONTHS
Prosecutor Mapelli Junior recalls that a minimum bail period of three months is a direct legal requirement under section 38, section III, of Ordinance 23,659 of the High Electoral Court, which invokes section 8, section III, of Law 6,996.

In the official document for the new electoral residence, it should be repeated, the couple presented only the lease agreement concluded the day before and on the eve of the respective transfers.

AS A JUDGE, WHAT POLICY?
This is not the case when the severity of the then Judge Moreau is contrasted with, what should I call it?, the promiscuity of the politician Moreau. And I do not make such a contrast for a simple reason: I did not consider Judge Moro Severo. I realized—and the Supreme Court decisions proved me right—that he was practicing illegal activities, which is the opposite of strictness.

Therefore, it seems to me that the politician Moreau, like Judge Moreau, reads the law at his own discretion. I do not know if your candidacy, if any, will be rejected. Tell me: does a two-day lease characterize electoral housing? Receiving commendations and citizenship titles, as well as meeting at the hotel, show a connection with the city of São Paulo? If the answer is no, Moreau and Rosangela committed the crime, according to the case law, even if they were not applied. The protected asset, as the promoter points out, is the voter register, which cannot be fooled. Although in the sequel, the couple will drink chicabon instead of running for office.

CONCLUSION
And what did Moreau say now that the federal police are investigating him? He preferred to attack Lulu as if the former president was responsible for the story he told the election judge. Posted on Twitter:
“There is nothing illegal in my new electoral address. It is the right of every Brazilian to change. No problem, I will provide all the necessary information. Now this interrogation is strange, while the candidacy of a convict in 3 instances is interpreted naturally.”

Apparently, he pretends that the STP, which overturned Lule’s convictions, declaring him an incompetent and suspicious judge, is not among the “instances” of justice. And why did the court do this? Because it seems that Judge Moreau was just as unorthodox as the politician Moreau when it comes to enforcing the law.
