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.

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.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

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.

Far beyond the colossal glaciers: the “hidden culprit” that raises sea levels even without new ice blocks melting: the ocean also warms, expands, and takes up more space.

Brazil and Morocco face off on the field this Saturday for the World Cup, but off the pitch, the two countries engage in $2.8 billion a year in agricultural trade; Brazilian sugar alone accounts for nearly 60% of everything the African country buys from here.

The tax on blouses is out, but ICMS remains: understand why international purchases can still be costly for consumers

Three-story house weighing 128,000 kg is lifted by hydraulic jacks and removed from the coast in the US before being swallowed by the ocean; 20 properties have already collapsed in the region and the advance of the sea raises an alert for the Brazilian coast.
