Guilherme Derrite, the rapporteur for the Anti-Crime Bill, has resumed the original text from the Chamber of Deputies, instructing the rejection of the majority of the modifications that were approved by the Senate in December. This bill, first presented by the government in October, aims to enhance the combat against criminal organizations, signaling a significant policy focus on addressing organized crime in Brazil. In his report released on Tuesday, Derrite introduced autonomous criminal types; specifically, the crimes of 'structured social domination' and 'favoring structured social domination'.

Derrite argues that these new criminal definitions should stand as independent legal categories with clear typological structures in order to effectively counter the territorial control exerted by criminal factions. This decision comes in response to the Senate's previous version of the bill, which had excluded these criminal categories and instead proposed introducing new criminal offenses directly within the Criminal Organizations Law, a move that could potentially complicate legal interpretations and enforcement.

The rapporteur criticized the Senate's alterations for rendering the text 'more interpretative and less objective', indicating that the current trajectory may dilute the intended impact of the legislation. By pushing for clearer and more objective definitions of criminal activity connected with organized crime, Derrite aims to bolster the effectiveness of Brazil's legal tools in tackling the severe challenges posed by criminal factions operating within its borders.
