Overview

• Deputies approved PL 1.307/23, already cleared by the Senate, sending Senator Sergio Moro’s text to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva for sanction.
• The bill creates the crimes of obstruction and conspiracy to obstruct actions against organized crime, with penalties of four to 12 years in prison and a fine.
• Custody under the measure begins in federal maximum-security prisons, and pretrial detainees tied to these offenses must also be held in that system.
• The package extends protection to attorneys, witnesses, jurors, collaborators, experts, retired authorities and relatives up to the third degree, and applies one to three years for those who request or hire crimes with members of criminal associations.
• In a separate vote, the Chamber passed PL 4498/25 to require information-sharing by bodies such as COAF, CGU, Banco Central, Receita, CVM and ABIN and to oblige notices to police of suspected crimes, sending the proposal to the Senate.
