Overview

  • Hugo Motta named Guilherme Derrite rapporteur of PL 5582/2025, and Derrite temporarily left his São Paulo public security post to reassume his seat and take the role.
  • Derrite said he will file a substitute with 20–40 year sentences for crimes linked to factions, mandatory maximum‑security imprisonment for leaders, and tougher regime‑progression thresholds of 70% to up to 85% for repeat offenders with result of death.
  • The government’s original proposal, signed by Ricardo Lewandowski and Jorge Messias, creates the crime of a qualified criminal organization with penalties of 8–15 years for territorial or economic control and establishes a National Database of Criminal Organizations, among other investigative tools.
  • PT leader Lindbergh Farias called Motta’s choice a provocation to President Lula, and Minister Gleisi Hoffmann reiterated the government’s opposition to classifying factions as terrorism.
  • Parallel bills from Danilo Forte and Styvenson Valentim seek terrorism treatment for factions, and congressional leaders are discussing merging texts as Motta signals a possible vote as early as next week.
