Lal Krishna Advani vs Sergio Moro

Lal Krishna Advani led the Ram Rath Yatra, a political-religious procession from Somnath to Ayodhya, to mobilize support for building a Ram temple at the disputed Babri Masjid site. The yatra sparked communal tensions and was stopped by the Bihar government.

Lal Krishna Advani was appointed Union Minister of Home Affairs in the Vajpayee government, serving until 2004. He oversaw internal security, including the Kargil War (1999) and the 2001 Indian Parliament attack.

Lal Krishna Advani was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of India in the Vajpayee government, serving until 2004. He also held the Home Ministry portfolio, overseeing internal security during a period of communal violence.

Lal Krishna Advani was appointed Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha after the BJP's defeat in the 2004 general election. He served in this role until 2009, leading the opposition against the UPA government.

Lal Krishna Advani resigned as President of the Bharatiya Janata Party after the party's defeat in the 2009 general election. He took responsibility for the electoral loss, though he remained a senior leader.

Sérgio Moro was appointed a federal judge in Curitiba, Paraná. He specialized in financial crimes and money laundering, building expertise that would later be central to Operation Car Wash.

Sérgio Moro launched Operation Car Wash (Lava Jato), a massive anti-corruption investigation targeting bribery and money laundering involving Petrobras, construction companies, and politicians. The investigation led to numerous convictions and became the largest corruption probe in Brazilian history.

Sérgio Moro convicted former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on corruption and money laundering charges related to a beachfront apartment. The conviction was later overturned by the Supreme Court on procedural grounds, but at the time it prevented Lula from running in the 2018 election.

Sérgio Moro was appointed Minister of Justice and Public Security under President Jair Bolsonaro. He resigned in 2020, accusing Bolsonaro of political interference in the Federal Police.
