Based on a US model, Moro's project is expected to affect the poorest.

247- Brazilian Justice Minister Sérgio Moro is expected to send a bill to the National Congress to combat crime, which includes the so-called "plea bargain," a procedure used by the United States justice system where defendants confess to crimes they allegedly committed in exchange for a faster resolution of the criminal process. Typically, these agreements involve lesser penalties, such as imprisonment, fines, and community service.

"Plea bargaining is so that the Justice system can quickly resolve criminal cases in which there is a confession," said Moro during his inauguration as Minister of Justice. According to him, 90% of criminal cases in the US are resolved this way. In the case of Brazil, the model adopted would follow the same lines as the US Justice system and would apply to any type of crime committed by a single person, without involving organized crime, theft, robbery, homicide, or corruption.

In these cases, the Public Prosecutor's Office and the suspect would reach an agreement without the need for a judicial process. Currently, this type of agreement is only possible in cases of minor offenses.

The project, however, faces criticism from legal experts who believe that adopting plea bargaining would primarily affect the less fortunate segments of the population, who would not be able to afford lawyers and face a lengthy legal process.
