The Minister of Justice and Public Security, Sérgio Moro, proposed Monday (4) to specify in the law that militias, as well as factions of drug trafficking, are criminal organizations. The measure is inspired by the Italian penal code, which quotes the names of mafia groups.
The anti-corruption bill aims to strengthen the effectiveness of the fight against corruption, organized crime and violent crime. The proposal wants a change in 14 laws.
The text expands the definition of criminal organization. This includes groups that use violence or bullying to control criminal activity and economic activity. And he cites as examples the names of criminal factions and militias.
"If you take the Italian law, you will see that the model organizations of gangsters use the word" mafia. "This has a very important force with regard to the extraditions of the territory, social control and attention: electoral control because the militias, the CCP (First Capital Command) of life have rather an electoral influence, have their candidates and their support, this proposal is extremely positive in this area, "said jurist Walter Maierovitch.
The proposal still advocates an increase in punishment for gangs that use violence in their actions. According to the text, the penalty will be heavier for criminals who "use violence or intimidation with badociative links to acquire, directly or indirectly, the control of a criminal activity or of a criminal activity. economic activity".
Other Proposed Measures:
- That Chiefs of Armed Criminal Organizations Begin Serving Sentences in Maximum Security Prisons
- That Persons Convicted of Membership in a Criminal Organization benefit from a regime advance
2 million people in militia areas
The militias came out promising protection. At that time, the areas controlled by the militias – groups of police, fire and prison guards – were not subject to drug trafficking.
In just over a decade, these gangs have expanded their activities. In addition to security, they began to control cable TV and Internet services, gas sales and alternative transportation.
Today, they sell water and cigarettes, which are already the second source of income for one of the largest militia in Rio de Janeiro, Campo Grande, in the west area of the city. The profit reaches 1 million rand a month.
Rio police suspect militiamen of being behind the badbadinations of Marielle Franco and driver Anderson Gomes. A crime about to complete 11 months without answers.
In 2008, militias were spread across 161 communities. An investigation by G1 based on information provided by the police and the public prosecutor's office of Rio de Janeiro shows that currently, the militias control the areas controlled by 11 militia of the metropolitan area, where live 2 millions of people.
A quarter of Rio's territory is dominated by militiamen: there are 37 districts and 165 communities.
An inhabitant, who asked not to be identified, explained to JN how to live in a community dominated by militia in Rio de Janeiro:
"Boy, you live in the militia region, c It's terrifying, you pay for your own gas, 30%, 40% more expensive than anywhere else.You pay for your own house that you had a hard time buying.You pay for your car that you bought. so you can enjoy with your family.You pay R $ 100, R $ 120, R $ 150. Those who impose their price, exactly as they wish.And they say that it is safe and ready, and that suppose. "
" This can have a significant effect if it is approved and makes it clear that these organizations are not allowed by law, "said Minister Sergio Moro.
