“Moro insists it is the Justice minister that must appoint the Federal Police chief.”

What ?????

No way, José....

Law 13047/2014 clearly states that is a prerogative of the President.

The truth is that when “Bolsonaro originally touted him as a “super minister” in charge of implementing a law-and-order agenda” he gave Moro 'carte-blanche' to do what had to be done, including to appoint the head of the Federal Police - very wise, based on the fact it would be Moro working closely with the Federal Police....not Bolsonaro.

Moro knows the Law well-enough to not insist it was his (legal) prerogative...he was just holding Bolsonaro to his promise (when he was given “carte blanche”).
