Lower House Pushes Anti‑Faction Bill Vote to Tuesday After Fourth Rewrite

Overview

• Chamber president Hugo Motta set a single‑issue session for Tuesday, Nov. 18, after relator Guilherme Derrite asked to postpone the floor vote.
• Derrite’s fourth report defines “facção criminosa” without creating a standalone offense, keeps the “domínio social estruturado” concept, and adds new aggravators such as drone use and attacks on judges or prosecutors.
• The draft redirects assets seized in PF‑led cases to FUNAPOL and to state security funds when probes are local, a scheme the Justice Ministry says risks fragmenting financing and argues should favor Funad.
• The Justice Ministry warned the reports risk a “caos jurídico” due to overlapping categories like “organização criminosa ultraviolenta,” raising fears of legal challenges and advantages for defendants.
• Right‑wing governors in the Consórcio da Paz and lawmakers from both PT and PL pressed for broader consultations with the Senate and STF, prompting Motta to cancel Thursday’s leaders’ meeting.
