Pacheco says the Senate will move forward with a project that regulates preventive detention

The President of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), announced that a bill that regulates the application of preventive arrests is advancing in the Legislative House. The proposal establishes criteria and facilitates the adoption of this measure when crimes occur again. According to Pacheco, the project, authored by former senator Flavio Dino and reported by Sergio Moro (União Brasil-PR), will soon be discussed in the Constitution and Justice Committee. The president of the Senate highlighted the importance of the proposal for the Justice system, highlighting the collaboration of senators from different political spectrums. “This criminal habituality, this constant number of crimes, this frequency may give rise to a request for preventive detention of this person who is identifying himself as not being able to live in society, at least at that moment”, declared the head of Congress.

Pacheco stated that the project has sufficient support in the Senate. “There is every environment for it to be approved with support, including from the governors of the States who are feeling this.” He highlighted the need for stricter measures in cases of criminal recidivism, especially in situations where the person demonstrates that they are unable to live in society. The text presented by Flávio Dino establishes clear criteria for the decree of preventive detention, such as the repeated use of violence, participation in criminal organizations and the quantity of drugs or weapons seized. Furthermore, the project determines that the dangerousness of the agent and the risk to public order must be proven for the measure to be applied.
