On June 2019, news publication The Intercept began reporting a series of exposés about unethical and corrupt behavior by then-Judge Sergio Moro, now the powerful justice minister for Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro. A headline from a July op-ed in the New York Times reads "the leaks reveal an immoral judge, who teamed up with electorally-motivated prosecutors, in order to arrest and convict individuals that they already considered guilty.
