Senate Crime CPI Opens Hearings With PF Chiefs as Chamber Sets Antifaction Bill Vote

Overview

• The Senate’s Organized Crime CPI starts public testimony on Nov. 18 with PF director-general Andrei Rodrigues and intelligence chief Leandro Almada, followed on Nov. 19 by Senappen intelligence director Antônio Glautter and prosecutor Lincoln Gakiya.
• Questions to PF leadership will examine coordination with state forces and prison intelligence, including lessons from the late-October Rio megaoperation that left 121 dead.
• In the Chamber, President Hugo Motta scheduled the PL Antifaction for a Nov. 18 vote, as relator Guilherme Derrite prepares a fifth version after four rewrites.
• The government says there is no deal on the current draft, objecting to asset-confiscation procedures, PF funding allocations and overlapping definitions, with a review meeting set for Tuesday morning.
• Opposition leaders plan a plenary highlight to equate factions with terrorism, and the CPI is moving requests to obtain PF reports and summon suspects tied to alleged STJ sentence sales exposed by Operation Sisamnes.
