Overview
- Hugo Motta placed the government’s PL Antifacção on the Chamber’s agenda for Tuesday, Nov. 11, with virtual sessions expected during COP30 that could delay a vote.
- Relator Guilherme Derrite says the text will not label facções as terrorist groups but will treat specific practices as producing terrorism-equivalent effects, carrying 20–40 year sentences.
- The substitute removes eligibility for grace, amnesty, pardon and parole for the newly typified crimes and adds aggravating factors for leadership, financing, restricted weapons and transnational activity.
- The package expands tools such as police and collaborator infiltration, rapid access to geolocation and internet records, a National Bank of Criminal Factions, corporate interventions with external managers and immediate financial blocks, and federal maximum-security incarceration for leaders.
- Derrite states his version preserves state investigative roles (Polícias Civis and Gaecos) while keeping Federal Police authority under the 2016 antiterrorism law; government allies, including Gleisi Hoffmann and PT leader Lindbergh Farias, denounce his appointment and approach.
