The Faculty of Law of the Catholic University signed this Saturday in Porto a protocol with the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) of Brazil for the continuous training of members in order to improve the efficiency of the trade union public ministry.
The agreement was initialed by Manuel Fontaine Campos, Director of the Faculty of Law of the Catholic University, and Alcides Martins, Deputy Attorney General of the Republic, whose training, according to Lusa, could begin in Brasilia, at the Higher Public School of the Ministry of the Union (ESMPU), “within two months” .
The agreement, according to Fontaine Campos, includes the possibility for Catholic law professors to conduct “training, courses for public prosecutors in Brazil”, on the understanding that, he added, it leaves the door open so that Brazilian magistrates can come to the university at any time. “attend courses” that are currently available.
“The initiative came from a Brazilian MP and we are interested in collaborating with the sister country, thus also trying to internationalize our school,” said Luce, head of the college.
To expedite the process, Fontaine Campos said that at the time of the signing of the protocol, he urged “a lawyer to draw up a training plan and the courses that can be offered in Brazil in the coming weeks, plus the courses they” offer.
Before Luza, Alcides Martins justified the choice of Portugal for the exchange of knowledge “by the fact that the country has cultural matrices” present in Brazil, associated with “connections” and “connections” that are “much stronger with the motherland”. than with other countries and other cultures with which they live.”
“Brazil is a big laboratory, a country-continent with a huge number of problems, issues that cannot be compared. We are the eighth economy in the world, the fifth largest country and, unfortunately, if you think about it, the criminal sphere, we have the sixth largest prison population in the world,” described the Attorney General, who was born in Vale de Cambra, Aveiro district.
Continuing the brief, he said that this Saturday, Brazil “has connections with criminal gangs in Europe and South America” that are “of great concern”, hence the “cooperation agreements signed with the Italian police and the Italian state to fight this federal society.
“I think it is possible for the training to continue for two or three months,” said Alcides Martins.
Meanwhile, an MPF adviser told Lusa that in order to “strengthen the government ministry internationally”, PGR will travel to The Hague, the Netherlands in March, where at Eurojust Headquarters “it will present GeoRadar for the agency, a system developed by the MPF with the assistance of Lavra University (Ufla ) to intensify the fight against various types of crimes: slave labor, environmental offenses, illegal mining.”
However, according to this source, GeoRadar, which launched in October 2022, “has reduced the conduct of surveys supporting MPF surveys to a matter of minutes. With this tool, you can access data and surveys that previously took up to seven months to be made available to investigators. The system has already made it possible to identify and uncover several illegal activities.”
“It is planned that from the second half of 2023, GeoRadar, which until now has been used exclusively by members and prosecutors, will be available to the general public, which will increase the number of inspections and disclosures of illegal activities in Brazil,” the document says. .
