Bolsonaro Government: How would Moro's "inspired" platform against organized crime work?

Minister of Justice and Public Security Sergio Moro defended on Thursday in Davos, Switzerland, a greater articulation between companies and investigative bodies in the fight against crime, regardless of official agreements cooperation between countries.

"I was thinking here of technologies used with cars like Uber., you needed licenses to (operate) a taxi, and now there is a digital platform in which you no longer need the government to say that (the service) is reliable.J I thought of something similar.You may have a digital platform in which companies Go on this platform and say: "We are available for cooperation in the field of business. law enforcement around the world ", you do not necessarily need the cooperation of our government," Moro said.

The minister pointed out that businesses, as well as organized crime, do not face national obstacles to their performance. "Only the government has," he said. And he cited a concrete example that he had experienced as a federal judge in a 2004 investigation when "money laundering prosecutors" had transferred resources to "politicians, entrepreneurs and others. criminals "in an agency" state bank in Miami ". Minister Moro has defended the use of "something similar" to the Uber digital platform so that private companies can cooperate with governments against organized crime without necessarily traveling across the country. "

"At that time, there was no mutual (cooperation) agreement with the US We approached this Brazilian bank with an arm in Miami and the bank even asked a state court to make a decision with a view to obtaining judicial authorization to hand over the bank files for the Brazilian authorities, "Moro said.

Panel mediator Ilona Szabó Carvalho, executive director of the Igarapé Institute, described Moro's proposal as "disruptive" (something that breaks the norms) and suggested that she would serve as a stimulus for reflections on how to extend not only global agreements.

"I realize that international cooperation is now based on cooperation between governments, between law enforcement officials, but is it really necessary?" ] "If you are a private company and you do not want your business to be used for criminal purposes, you generally want to cooperate, why do you have to follow all the diplomatic channels?" Generally, you need it for coercive measures, such as depositions, but if cooperation is voluntary, you may be able to work directly with law enforcement agencies in other countries, "he adds. In response to the proposal, a public participant recalled that the flexibility of cooperation is important to detain criminals, but felt that the evidence might be dismissed by the courts afterwards if they had [was found out of the equals]

Moro replied that this was not the case. "We're just saying that in some cases, if it's not possible to use agreements between countries, through the diplomatic channel, you may be able to use something different. , a company from another country is cooperating voluntarily with the forces of the order of another country.There is a problem with the evidence.It is different to have evidence without a court order, "he said.
