Moro x Bolsonaro Case,[1] also known as Moro Case[2] or Inquiry (INQ) 4831, refers to a police investigation in which statements made by former minister Sergio Moro about President Jair Bolsonaro's alleged attempt to interfere politically in Federal Police of Brazil and in investigations related to his family members.[3]
The statements occurred after Sergio Moro announced his resignation. Hours before, President Jair Bolsonaro had published a decree in an extra edition of the Diário Oficial da União exonerating Federal Police Director General Mauricio Valeixo without Minister Sergio Moro knowing. The decree of Valeixo's departure was not formally signed by Moro, although his name appears in the decree. Immediately after his resignation, the Prosecutor General of the Republic asked the Supreme Federal Court to open an inquiry, causing a new political crisis to begin.[4]
