President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sent the anti-faction bill to Congress on Friday (31), accelerated in response to a major police operation in Rio de Janeiro that resulted in 121 deaths. The proposal toughens penalties against organized crime and creates mechanisms to financially combat factions. Experts debate whether the text represents progress or repeats ineffective punitive formulas.
