Brazil Enacts Toughest Anti-Gang Law in Its History
This legislative action indicates a significant shift in Brazil's approach to organized crime, likely increasing law enforcement pressure on gangs.
President Lula has enacted Brazil’s Anti-Faction Law, which imposes sentences of 20 to 40 years for leaders of criminal organizations and introduces a new crime of territorial domination by gangs. The law has been moderated slightly, with the president vetoing provisions that would penalize individuals without proven ties to criminal groups.
