RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Minister Sérgio Moro (Justice and Public Safety) said that ‘the days of a lawless and justice-free Brazil have come to an end’.

“Law must be above impunity, it must protect people”.

On his Twitter page, Moro wrote. “We need to send a clear message to society. Crime doesn’t pay and we won’t be a paradise for crimes or criminals anymore.”

Moro posted the link to the advertising campaign for the anti-crime package, his major commitment to fighting corruption, organized crime and violence.

According to him, ‘the campaign focuses on the people, on the tragedies suffered by the victims of each crime and the lack of legal action’.

Moro posted. “A dream under construction. It can’t be achieved by the Government alone.”

The minister emphasized that under the slogan ‘Anticrime Package. The law must be above impunity’, the pieces are being broadcast on radio, TV, internet and cinema.

In another post, the minister noted that by July the country had recorded 7109 fewer murders compared to the same period last year, representing a 22 percent drop. “Crimes are dropping across the country. They need to drop further.”

According to Moro, in the anti-crime bill, the list of convicts subject to the genetic profile retrieval has been increased, ‘which will ease crime investigations’.
