Flavio Bolsonaro: This is the package against violent crimes which, in my view, is the project with the greatest impact on public security that this Congress could undertake in the last decade, because it encompasses a series of initiatives, some already pending as bills in this House.
Flavio Bolsonaro: Those bills are now being processed together with this anti-violent-crime package, which was reported by Senator Alessandro Vieira in the CCJ, who further refined the bill, which was developed, Senator Alessandro, with the main references in public security, both in the police field and in the legal field of the State of Rio de Janeiro, addressing the custody hearing, seeking to prevent that institution from becoming a large revolving door for criminals throughout Brazil.
What does this bill change? It includes a requirement that the judge, when assessing provisional release or the continuation of the detention of someone who was caught in flagrante, also consider that person's so-called criminal habituality, setting an objective criterion here: if someone has already been granted provisional release in the last two years, the judge will necessarily have to provide justification to relax his detention.
Flavio Bolsonaro: That is, someone who, for example, repeatedly steals cell phones, someone who repeatedly engages in drug trafficking, even if there is no final and unappealable conviction, will be considered someone who poses a high degree of dangerousness if kept at large in society.
Flavio Bolsonaro: So, we established this criterion in the custody hearing.
