Sergio Moro, who became a household name in Brazil as the judge that led the country's largest ever corruption probe, re-entered the political fray on Wednesday, presenting himself as a unifying centrist ahead of presidential elections next year.

He's going to win.

        I'm trying to be optimistic. I'm trying really hard.

      I honestly think he can. He's already basing his campaign on the fact he's the guy who imprisoned Lula and publicly denounced Bolsonaro for corruption.

      He's only got 8% in the polls right now. But 16 months before the election, Bolsonaro was getting 5% in some polls. Less than a year before the election, it was still around 15%.

      In Brazil, you never know.

    Right wing party. This is a good example of the CV that liberals want. "Independent" Judge, which jails the Left and then becomes active, but everyhting is fine cause of procedure.
