The Ministry indicated that, even after the rapporteur’s withdrawal, it still identified points that “represent unacceptable legal and institutional setbacks.” Among them is the insistence on the creation of an “independent law” that changes issues already addressed in the Criminal Organizations Act and other normative texts.
“The latest report has the potential to create real legal chaos by proposing innovations to change, in an unsystematic and non-technical way, long-standing institutions that have been tested by the court’s jurisprudence. This regulatory disruption could benefit criminals investigated in proceedings already initiated against them.”
Other items questioned by the Ministry of Justice were the transfer of resources from the National Front and other federal security forces to state funds and the fact that Derret ignored the original proposal, put forward by the federal government, to create a new criminal type of “criminal faction”.
