Chamber Pushes PL Antifacção Vote to Nov. 18 as Derrite Files Fourth Text

Overview

• Chamber president Hugo Motta set a single-item session for Tuesday, Nov. 18, postponing the plenary vote on the substitute for the government’s organized-crime bill.
• The fourth report by relator Guilherme Derrite defines “facção criminosa,” retains an autonomous legal framework, and directs seized assets to the PF’s FUNAPOL when the investigation is federal.
• The Justice Ministry warned earlier versions risked a “juridical chaos,” while right-leaning governors pressed for more time and consultations with the STF and the Senate before a final vote.
• STF Justice Alexandre de Moraes extended to Nov. 17 the deadline for the Rio state government to send camera footage, forensic reports and other materials tied to the late-October operation in Alemão and Penha.
• The Federal Police launched a new phase of Operação Sem Desconto, executing 10 preventive arrests and 63 search-and-seizure orders across 14 states and the Federal District, with cash, weapons and luxury cars seized.
