Federal deputy Deltan Dallagnol (Podemos-PR) filed a request for the creation of a Special Commission to discuss second-instance imprisonment, which was suspended in 2019 by the Federal Supreme Court (STF). The request comes in parallel with that of Senator Sérgio Moro (União Brasil-PR) who asks to resume the discussion of a project on the subject, filed in December 2022 due to the end of the previous legislature.

In the application, Deltan says that the creation of the commission is “intended to issue an opinion on the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution 199, of 2019”, which establishes the “immediate execution of the sentence imposed by the judge of first instance and confirmed by a collegiate of second instance”. instance”.

Deltan says that the end of the prison only after the final judgment “was a setback in Brazil, a country that has, in practice, four instances. Criminal cases take 10, 20 years to be judged only to, in the end, be buried by the prescription , which removes from the State the right to punish the person convicted of the crime and he goes unpunished”, he says.
