Takeaways

  • 😀 Law 11.343/2006 (Drug Law) distinguishes between crimes of minor potential offense and more serious drug-related crimes.
  • 😀 Crimes of minor potential offense, like personal drug use, follow the simplified procedure outlined in Law 9099/95 (Juizado Especial Criminal).
  • 😀 For more serious drug offenses, such as trafficking and association for trafficking, the special procedure defined by Law 11.343/2006 is applied.
  • 😀 Law 11.343/2006 allows for more complex procedures, such as temporary or preventive detention, and investigation through an inquiry (inquérito).
  • 😀 If a suspect is arrested, an 'Audiência de Custódia' (custody hearing) must be held within 24 hours to assess whether the arrest will result in preventive detention.
  • 😀 After an inquiry, the police may forward the case to the public prosecutor (Ministério Público) who can decide to file an indictment (denúncia), request additional investigations, or offer a plea deal (acordo de não persecução penal).
  • 😀 In cases of crimes with a penalty of up to 4 years, the prosecutor can offer a plea deal, provided the defendant confesses to the crime.
  • 😀 For crimes under the special procedure of Law 11.343/2006, if the defendant pleads guilty, the process may be suspended under the 'suspensão condicional do processo' (conditional suspension of the trial).
  • 😀 If the prosecutor does not offer a plea deal, the case proceeds to trial with a defense deadline of 10 days for submitting a preliminary defense (defesa preliminar).
  • 😀 During trial, the defendant is questioned last, after hearing witnesses, as per court rulings that prioritize broad defense and the right to a fair trial.
  • 😀 Sentences in drug-related cases may be appealed, with a 5-day deadline for filing an appeal and 8 days for submitting written reasons. Further appeals to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) are possible.

Q & A

  • What are the two primary procedures outlined in the Drug Law (Law 11.343/2006)?

    -The two primary procedures outlined are the Juizado Especial Criminal (Special Criminal Court) procedure for minor offenses (Article 48), and the special procedure for more serious drug crimes under Law 11.343/2006.

  • Which crimes fall under the jurisdiction of the Juizado Especial Criminal (JECRIM)?

    -Crimes of minor offensive potential, such as drug consumption for personal use (Article 28) and the cultivation of small amounts of drugs for personal consumption (Article 33, paragraph 3), fall under the jurisdiction of the Juizado Especial Criminal.

  • What happens during the special procedure for serious drug offenses under Law 11.343/2006?

    -For serious drug offenses, such as drug trafficking (Article 33) or drug trafficking associations (Article 35), the procedure involves investigation, possible detention, inquest, and potentially a prison sentence with further judicial steps, including the possibility of preventive detention and more formal legal proceedings.

  • How does the Special Criminal Court differ from the regular criminal procedure in drug-related cases?

    -The Special Criminal Court (JECRIM) follows a simplified process for minor drug offenses, focusing on fast-track proceedings without the need for a full trial. In contrast, more serious drug offenses follow a more comprehensive and detailed judicial process, including investigation, hearings, and potential preventive detention.

  • What is a 'transação penal' and in which context is it used?

    -'Transação penal' is a plea bargaining process used in minor drug offenses, where the accused can avoid a full trial by accepting a penalty, usually involving a fine or community service. This is used in the JECRIM process for minor offenses.

  • What are the steps involved when someone is arrested for a serious drug offense?

    -When someone is arrested for a serious drug offense, an inquest is opened, and the person may be placed in preventive detention. The authorities have 24 hours to present the arrested individual in a custody hearing, where the judge will determine if the detention should be converted into preventive custody or if other measures, such as house arrest, may apply.

  • What role does the prosecutor play in the process after the inquest for serious drug offenses?

    -The prosecutor can request the filing of the case if there is insufficient evidence, order additional investigations, or propose a 'acordo de não persecução penal' (agreement not to prosecute) if the accused meets certain conditions, such as confessing and committing to certain penalties for lesser offenses.

  • What is the significance of 'audiência de custódia' in the context of drug-related arrests?

    -The 'audiência de custódia' (custody hearing) is a mandatory procedure that occurs within 24 hours of an arrest. In this hearing, a judge evaluates whether the detention should be converted to preventive custody, relaxes the detention if any irregularities are found, or grants provisional freedom based on the circumstances, such as familial responsibilities.

  • What are the possible outcomes after a trial in the Special Criminal Court for drug offenses?

    -After a trial in the Special Criminal Court, the judge may issue a sentence, which can be appealed within 10 days. If the appeal is unsuccessful, a further appeal to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) may be possible. However, this procedure does not allow for a special appeal as in regular criminal proceedings.
