Brazilian Justice Minister Sergio Moro has threatened to resign if President Jair Bolsonaro goes ahead with plans to change the head of the federal police, a person with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Thursday.
Moro is one of the most popular ministers in the government due to his record fighting corruption as a federal judge and Bolsonaro originally touted him as a “super minister” in charge of implementing a law-and-order agenda.
Moro’s departure along with the head of Brazil’s federal police would be a serious blow to Bolsonaro’s argument that he is bolstering the fight against graft with investigations free of political interference. Newspaper Folha de S.Paulo first reported Moro’s possible departure in an article published to its website, saying he had asked to quit and Bolsonaro was working to change his mind.
