Legal and political challenges for Sergio Moro

Overview

Senator Sergio Moro, a candidate for the governorship of Paraná, is facing various legal and political challenges.

Moro filed a lawsuit seeking R$ 100,000 in moral damages from former federal judge Luciana Dias Bauer. The legal action follows Bauer’s claim that Moro physically assaulted her in 2016. Moro’s defense has dismissed the allegation as a “vengeful fable,” noting that no formal police report was filed at the time of the purported incident.

Separately, electoral records revealed that Moro’s campaign received a R$ 50,000 donation from lawyer João Alberto Graça, a figure with a history of legal issues involving bribery and fraud investigations. Moro’s office stated that the funds were fully returned.
