The can approve dosimetry project and decrease the penalty of (PL) and other defendants in the coup plot, according to the minister, of the (Supreme Court), but his expectation is not to do this.
“Congress can change? It can. I particularly hope it won’t do it, because I think the current law is good,” he said in an interview after an event in Sao Paulo.
According to him, the punishment applied to the former president-27 years and 3 months-and other convicted corresponds to the world parameter. About uniting crimes to decrease the time of penalty also says that there is no precedent of approval in Congress and validation in the Supreme.
“These crimes of protection of the political regime, laws of protection against political crimes have always obeyed the logic of the attempt, punish the attempt. Regarding the size of the penalty, the current law that the Supreme applied corresponds more or less to the international average and also corresponds to this history of Brazilian law,” he said.
Dino participated in the 15th International Labor Law Congress in São Paulo, where he gave a lecture on outsourcing, pejotization and judgment of Uberization, which began this week, but can stay for 2026.
In an interview, he recalled his vote at the trial. “In the vote I gave, I already answered two main questions, in my view. The first, these crimes are susceptible to amnesty or pardon? The supreme said no,” he said.
“There is an almost unanimous decision of the Supreme, saying that crimes like this, such as terrorism, heinous crimes, do not include this extinction of punishment through a political decision.”
The minister said that the attempt to unite two crimes that would be attempted to abolish the Democratic Rule of Law and the coup d’état does not apply because they are different conduct. One would be against the President of the Republic, the other would be against all the constituted powers, so the penalty applied is for each of them.
“It is one thing to want to testify the legitimately elected government. This refers to the executive branch. Another thing is to want to abolish the democratic rule of law. This refers to other powers. Therefore, they are two different crimes because they are two different conduct. This is my vision, but of course the National Congress can review the law at any time.”
The minister has stated that Congress can change the parameters of dosimetry, but believes that it creates the laws and the judiciary applies them, as it has done, and that Brazilian law in this regard is already complete.
