In addition, the minister mentioned that the Constitution defined that the number of judges in the jurisdictional units must be proportional to the effective judicial demand and the respective population. “Forcing all counties in the country to have an authority competent to process investigations, but incompetent for the subsequent criminal action, manifestly violates the aforementioned norm, in addition to confronting the exclusive competence of the Judiciary of the states and of the Union in the initiative of laws on the matter itself,” he said. In the various changes that the Code of Criminal Procedure underwent, the anti-crime package determined the implementation of the guarantee judge, who is the magistrate who must act in the criminal investigation phase.
