Overview
- Relator Guilherme Derrite’s substitute conditions Federal Police participation on a governor’s request and applies anti‑terrorism‑style penalties of 20 to 40 years to certain organized‑crime acts.
- The Federal Police issued a public note citing “significant restrictions” and a “true retrocesso” to national investigations, while the Federal Revenue Service warned of unacceptable interference in federal authority.
- Government allies, including Gleisi Hoffmann and Lindbergh Farias, denounce the text as a shield for criminals and push to restore the original Ministry of Justice proposal.
- Justice Ministry officials argue the substitute is unconstitutional, removes key asset‑forfeiture tools, and narrows new investigative mechanisms to larger factions, leaving smaller groups harder to target.
- Hugo Motta met the PF director and top judicial authorities and says a revised report will preserve PF duties, as Derrite prepares changes for Tuesday when the Chamber will vote on the urgency request.
