The End Of The Prison Grant For Convicted Prisoners Has Been Approved By The Chamber. Antifaction Project Tightens Sentences And Goes To The Senate.
The Chamber of Deputies approved, on Tuesday (11/18/2025), the Antifaction Project, which deeply changes the rules for combating organized crime in Brazil.
The text, which received 370 votes in favor, 110 against, and three abstentions, alters legal benefits, increases sentences, and imposes new restrictions on prisoners convicted of involvement with factions.
The decision, which now goes to the Senate, marks the end of the prison grant for dependents of convicts classified under crimes provided for in the project.

The proposal advances at a time when the country is trying to curb the territorial and financial expansion of criminal organizations.
What Changes With The End Of The Prison Grant For Prisoners
The most sensitive point of the new legislation is the suspension of the prison grant for families of inmates involved in crimes linked to factions.
Under the proposal, dependents will no longer receive the benefit when the prisoner is in closed or semi-open regime and convicted of any crime listed in the Antifaction Project.
This change directly affects cases of provisional prisoners or those already serving sentences, which generates a significant social impact, as the grant was intended to financially protect dependents.
New Framework Against Organized Crime Expands Sentences And Establishes Stricter Rules
The Antifaction Project also establishes a new legal framework by introducing the concept of “structured social domain”, intended to classify groups that use violence to control communities.
Sentences for this type of crime will range between 20 and 40 years of imprisonment, while leaders of organizations may face up to 66 years.
Additionally, the proposal creates tougher instruments to undermine the finances of factions. From now on, the prior seizure of assets from those being investigated becomes the rule, which should expedite processes for economically suffocating these criminal structures.
Another important point is the limitation of benefits such as parole and temporary leave, measures that are facing strong public pressure for review.
Sentence Fulfillment Becomes Stricter For Heinous Crimes
The text approved by the deputies also hardens the minimum time for serving sentences.
Those convicted of heinous crimes will have to serve 70% of their sentence in closed regime before moving to semi-open.
For repeat offenders, the requirement will be even greater: 80%.
This change seeks to prevent faction members from quickly returning to social life, reducing the influence of organizations inside and outside prisons.
Deputies Emphasize Combating The Advance Of Factions
According to lawmakers who defended the project, the changes address the need to modernize ways to combat criminal organizations.
The central objective is to prevent territorial dominance exercised by armed groups, which use violence to control entire regions, influence local economies, and challenge the State.
The text was classified as a decisive step to “weaken the power of factions and restore the authority of the State,” according to speeches made during the vote.
Proceedings In The Senate May Adjust Aspects Of The Antifaction Project
Now, the Antifaction Project goes for analysis in the Senate, where it may receive modifications before final approval.
Experts and security agencies expect the new rules to bring significant changes to the prison system and the fight against organized crime.
The government, on the other hand, is monitoring the implementation of the measures with caution, waiting to understand their practical impact, especially regarding the suspension of the prison grant and the tightening of sentences.
