The applicability of this condition is addressed in crimes where the full reparation of the damage (payment of the tax) already has the effect of extinguishing criminal liability. This research is intended to answer the following problems: (i) Is the NPA applicable in tax crimes? (ii) Must the reparation of the damage, as a condition of the NPA, cover the full value of the tax, including interests and fines? (iii) Is the reparation of the damage always necessary to sign a NPA? The expectation of advantage to the accused, provided by the agreement as a negotiated justice instrument, is considered as a condition of its own meaning and effectiveness. On the other hand, the expectation of protection of the legal interest is considered in light of the sufficiency of the agreement as an instrument of prevention and repression of tax crimes. Possible ways of reconciling these expectations are delimited as hypotheses, through solutions such as a restricted understanding of the reparation of damage and the viability of partial reparation. The research is qualitative, exploratory, and propositional, based on the analysis of specialized legislation and literature.

The Chilean experience in this area is used as a reference point. Questions are raised as to which groups deserve special attention and how specialisation can be achieved without compromising the neutrality of the law, which also aims at universality, at least at the local level. The idea that this differentiated consideration is a necessity is addressed, and its basis is essentially based on two things: an understanding of the right of access to justice as an autonomous right, and the principle of relative equality as material equality. Although it does not deal with practical implementation, it offers indicative guidelines that would allow for the optimisation of procedural and substantive legal instruments, thereby improving access to justice for vulnerable groups. In order to outline the path towards specialisation, key issues such as the definition of vulnerable groups and the debate on whether a procedural solution is sufficient or whether a correction of substantive criminal law is necessary are addressed. Finally, it discusses the insufficiency of a purely administrative solution and the feasibility of judicial specialisation, considering the possibility that the neutrality and objectivity of criminal law and criminal procedure may ultimately be violated. Finally, the question is raised as to whether specialised justice is a more empathetic than legal solution, which tends to undermine social solutions over individual ones.","PeriodicalId":41933,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140977620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a hypothesis, it was established that the principle of the presumption of innocence and the right to a broad defense can rule out the rules of preclusion applicable to the evidentiary activity carried out by the accused in criminal proceedings. The research was carried out in three stages, based on the constitutional and infra-constitutional rules applicable to the parties' evidentiary activity in criminal proceedings. Firstly, the study dealt with the preclusion in relation to the right to evidence. Secondly, it described the possible hypotheses of preclusion related to the parties' evidentiary activity in criminal proceedings. Finally, it sought to verify the possibility of preclusion occurring in criminal proceedings and in relation to the probative activity of the accused. Adopting the guidelines of the hypothetical-deductive method and explanatory approach, and based on the theoretical knowledge already published about the subject, the research led to the conclusion that the principle of the presumption of innocence and the right to a broad defense point to the inapplicability of preclusion in relation to the evidential activity carried out by the accused in criminal proceedings.","PeriodicalId":41933,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140971975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, through the analysis of the Italian positive law faced with doctrinal perspectives on the pertinent topics, the relationships between the organization of the proof initiative and dispositive principle, “double acts”, free conviction of the judge, impartiality of the judge, procedural contradiction and agreements on the content of the procedural records are described.","PeriodicalId":41933,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140977164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirdly, it designs the argument of procedural asymmetries to expose two central aspects: the unjustified disadvantage suffered by the victim of crimes against humanity and the limitations of the legal sanction imposed for these crimes.

Against the backdrop of the discussion of these foundations as binding by the Supreme Federal Court (STF), the first part advocates for the maximum scope and retroactivity of the ANPP as a mixed norm, seeking to describe the state of the discussion and the bases of the debate in jurisprudence. In a second moment, it proposes that the concept of penal insignificance, present in the legal discipline of the ANPP, should gain prominence as a critical function linked to the political-criminal analysis of jurisdictional action. In the third section, the text asserts the urgency of a justification for filtering the necessity or not of penal incidence and its convenience, based on perspectives on what may constitute just cause for criminal action. In the concluding remarks, the paper revisits the potential role of ANPP as an instrument that could inaugurate a democratic renewal in the legal system, given its ability to pave the way for a strategic discussion regarding the necessity or not of state-punitive action.","PeriodicalId":41933,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140246901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
