Criminal lawyer Gilhiri Sujimori, businessman and former federal deputy Alexis Fonteen discussed, on Wednesday (07), in The great debate (From Monday to Friday at 11 pm), Brazil’s interpretation of the United States on the current national law that does not allow criminal factions to framing as terrorists.
Justice Ministry technicians have told representatives of the US government that the factions such as the red leadership (CV) and the first capital (CCP) They cannot be classified under Brazilian law as criminals, not terrorists.
According to the Anti -Terrorism Law in Brazil, the crime “consists of a practice by one or more of the actions stipulated in this article, for reasons related to foreigners, discrimination or prejudice in race, color, race or religion, when they are committed for the purpose of provoking social terrorism or on a large scale, exposing the person, public or public peace.”
Guilherme Suguimori states that the change in our legislation is meaningless because the reality of both countries is completely different.
“The problem of terrorism in Brazil is completely different from the one facing the United States. The issue of organized crime in Brazil is a completely opposite intensity of what Americans live. Here we have these separate bodies. A law that deals with terrorism and another related to organized crime,” he explains.
Alexis Fontyne notes that the big question at stake is the strategy of expanding performance in combating business as terrorists.
“Control of terrorism gives a lot of power to the public customer and facilitates the progress of these groups more than laws on criminal organizations. In Brazil, anti -terrorism has been created for the Olympics and the government gave the application of greater sanctions and the possibility of more possibility of conducting preventive interventions.”
There is an American footnote in Brazil to discuss facing organized crime and international cooperation agreements.
The government of Donald Trump has sought to frame the terrorists, based on local legislation, active criminal groups in Latin America. The Americans argue that the Brazilian criminal factions are considered to be linked to terrorism.
Guilherme Suguimori notes that the distinction by Brazilian law depends on the fact that criminal and terrorist activity is moving for various reasons.
“The great difference in these two types of criminal organization, for our legislation, is their motives. Criminal groups, we deal with those who aim to benefit through criminal activities. We deal with terrorist organizations that are paid for ideological reasons.”
Alexis Fontyne argues that there is a very clear chapter for each type of crime.
“If we want to improve organized crime control in Brazil, which grows a lot and empowering, and that worry the United States, we will act according to the laws of moderate criminal organizations that give power to criminals and thus make it strict.”
“Changing the law to confront an American whim, which has very clear goals, is” running “our law to meet a country with a different problem. It is not logical to surrender to the US pressure to make our law a mixture,” Suguimori adds.
