Brazilian criminal prosecution legal developments

Overview

The legal landscape regarding criminal prosecution in Brazil has been influenced by rulings concerning the Non-Prosecution Agreement (ANPP). A decision by the 5th Panel of the Superior Tribunal de Justiça (REsp 2.083.823/DF) addressed the intersection of public and private criminal actions.

The court ruled that the Public Prosecutor's Office may have supplementary legitimacy to propose an ANPP in cases involving exclusively private actions, specifically in instances of inertia or unfounded refusal by the complainant.
