Sao Paulo, Apr 24 (EFE).- People in Sao Paulo banged pots and pans in a protest against Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro after Justice minister Sergio Moro announced his resignation on Friday. Moro, a former federal judge who gained international recognition by spearheading a sprawling anti-graft campaign, accused Bolsonaro of political meddling for dismissing the country's top police official earlier in the day.The departure of Sergio Moro, viewed by many conservatives in Brazil as a heroic defender of justice, represents a harsh political blow for the rightist head of state and also provoked financial turmoil in the South American country.
