Brazilian courts have issued several significant prison sentences following various jury trials and judicial rulings involving violent crimes.

Notable convictions include a 67-year sentence for Samuel Paixão de Souza, a member of the Máfia Azul organized supporter group in Belo Horizonte, for a 2021 bus attack that resulted in one death. In Altamira, Pará, Cleyton Oliveira Gomes received 34 years and six months for the kidnapping, sexual abuse, and murder of a five-year-old girl.
