Justice Alexandre de Moraes of the Brazilian Supreme Court has scheduled public hearings for August 24 and 25 to debate the constitutionality of the Anti-Faction Law, also known as the Legal Framework for Combating Organized Crime. 

The hearings will involve specialists and civil society representatives to examine four direct actions of unconstitutionality challenging the law. Key legal issues include the creation of new criminal offenses, increased punishments for crime bosses, the prohibition of parole, and the potential loss of assets without a final conviction. Other points of contention involve the use of preventive detention and the monitoring of meetings between lawyers and prisoners. Moraes stated the subject has a “high impact on social order” and necessitates a broad analysis regarding the legal security of the justice system.
