The National Justice Oversight Board ordered the Minas Gerais Court of Justice and Judge Magid Nauef Láuar to provide explanations within five days regarding the decision acquitting a 35-year-old man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl in 2024. The acquittal, issued by the TJMG's 9th Specialized Criminal Chamber, sparked negative backlash and criticism from politicians and experts. The Minas Gerais Prosecutor's Office plans to appeal the ruling.

Regeringen har foreslået at sænke strafferettslig lavalder til 13 på trods af tidligere kritik, men Lagrådet er nu stærkt imod planen. Ifølge rådet risikerer det at øge ungdomskriminaliteten i stedet for at mindske den og strider imod FN-konventionen om barnets rettigheder. Justitieminister Gunnar Strömmer forsvarer behovet for reform, men lover at gennemgå udtalelsen.
