Proposal Under Consideration in the Chamber of Deputies Provides for Imprisonment of Up to 8 Years and Fines for Parking Attendants Who Coerce Drivers Without Legal Authorization.

In response to the growing complaints from drivers about coercive approaches by parking attendants in various Brazilian cities, the Chamber of Deputies is analyzing a bill that aims to classify the improper charging by these informal vehicle guardians as a crime of extortion. The measure proposes severe penalties, including imprisonment from two to eight years and fines for those who demand payment without due authorization from the public authorities.

Details of the Legislative Proposal for Parking Attendants

The Bill 239/25, authored by Deputy General Pazuello (PL-RJ), seeks to amend the Penal Code to include extortion practiced by parking attendants as a specific crime. According to the text, the punishment will be applied to anyone who “demands or collects payment for guarding, parking, or watching a vehicle parked on public roads without authorization from the public authorities.”

The proposal also provides for aggravating factors that can increase the penalty by up to half:

Justification

Deputy Pazuello argues that while the activity of being an autonomous vehicle guard and washer is regulated by Law 6.242/75, there is a gap in the legislation regarding the criminal classification of abusive practices. He points out that in various cities, especially in areas with high foot traffic, such as tourist spots and hospitals, parking attendants have appropriated public space and engaged in extortionate conduct.

The project is currently under review in the Constitution and Justice and Citizenship Committee (CCJ) of the Chamber of Deputies. If approved, it will proceed to a vote in the Chamber’s Plenary and later in the Federal Senate. If sanctioned, it will represent a significant change in the legal approach to the activities of parking attendants in the country.

Details of the Legislative Proposal for Parking Attendants

Justification

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Using high-resolution satellite images, archaeologists rediscovered the Egyptian city of Imet, buried for centuries in the Nile Delta, revealing rare multi-story houses, granaries, and a sacred road linked to the cobra goddess Wadjet, from about 2,400 years ago.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Concrete made with seawater and marine sand challenges one of the basic rules of civil construction, replacing common steel with corrosion-resistant reinforcements, and can turn islands and coastal works into laboratories of a new salty engineering.

Without ATMs, with social networks blocked and travel controlled by the government, Eritrea challenges the modern world and reveals why it is called the “North Korea of Africa.”

State government launches an unprecedented plan against marine litter with 45 goals, actions for 10 years, and a priority to reduce plastics that already appear on 100% of the beaches analyzed on the Brazilian coast.

Cheaper than the JAC T60 Plus: with a 1.5 flex engine, 1.6 option with 138 hp, CVT-type automatic transmission, 360 camera, panoramic sunroof, and 10-inch central unit, this used Chinese SUV tries to convince those looking for a complete package: meet the JAC T40 Plus 2022.
