Moro resigned, in no way was he expelled of the government. Bolsonaro's stance has always been to be harsh on crime, and that's one of the reasons Moro accepted the invite in the first place. The fact that he left due to disagreements with the president does not mean that the government's stance on crime has changed.

Several judges including the Supreme Court[0] ruled against him. To say that he was in prison because of a single biased judge is pure denial and borderline a conspiracy theory.

It is definitely a weird choice to say that he is the "organized crime person of the year" when the biggest criminal organization in brazil (PCC) was caught in a wiretap last year complaining that Bolsonaro's government was too harsh on them, and alluding to having a great dialogue with former leftist leaders[0].

It is true that his son has been accused of hiring "phantom" employees, but to say it was on Bolsonaro's behalf is pure speculation, in fact there are zero corruption charges against him. I personally find the whole Hunder Biden episode to be a lot more damning than that and I am not ready to say Joe Biden deserves to be held responsible for it.

It is also worth noting there is no "OCCRP" award against Lula, former Brazil's president, who was in fact tried, charged, and imprisioned through a lengthy and fair judicial process - that really makes you question the true motives of this award. Are speculations more important than the due process of the law?
