Overview
- Late Monday, relator Guilherme Derrite released a new draft that removes the clause requiring a governor’s request for PF participation and allows the PF to act cooperatively or on its own initiative with notice to state authorities.
- The Polícia Federal and government allies say the revision remains insufficient, citing a formal PF note warning of significant restrictions and a public pledge by PF chief Andrei Rodrigues to reject any cut to the force’s attributions.
- The core architecture stays intact by inserting organized‑crime conduct into the Antiterrorism Law with penalties of 20 to 40 years, tightening prison rules, creating state and national offender registries, and adding a civil asset‑forfeiture tool.
- Chamber president Hugo Motta is mediating between Derrite, PF leadership and the government, with a vote on urgency scheduled for Tuesday and the goal of a plenary decision this week.
- Ministers and PT leaders argue the text risks shielding criminal actors and even parliamentarians, while critics warn of constitutional and international repercussions from using the Antiterrorism statute for organized crime.
