Criminal judicial proceedings in Brazil

Overview

Recent judicial and police activities in Brazil have addressed various violent and predatory crimes. In early October, courts issued significant sentences for high-profile homicides, including the 2012 murder of lawyer Davi Sebba in Goiânia and the 2023 assassination of lawyer Roberto Zampieri in Cuiabá. Other rulings involved convictions for domestic homicide and sexual abuse against minors.

By late October, law enforcement focused on crimes involving minors. In São Paulo and Paraná, police arrested two men for the virtual grooming of a child and the subsequent intimidation of the victim’s family through death threats. Additionally, an investigation was launched in Alagoas after a man was indicted for attempting to coerce a 13-year-old girl into altering her testimony regarding alleged sexual abuse.
