Resumo:
The present work has the general objective of analyzing the plea bargain, understanding the
concept, its specificities, discussing its legitimacy in the face of its collaboration in the fight
against organized crime and its efficiency in relation to those who enjoy such an institute,
seeking to understand how it’s in fact, can contribute to the reduction of crime. As specific
objectives, there are: to provide clarification of the institute, reinforcing the need for
complementary legislation; understand the importance of plea bargaining in the fight against
organized crime; discuss the positions of scholars about the premium institute with regard to
its benefits and harms, as well as its effectiveness and validity. The method used in the study
was deductive, with bibliographic research, with research and studies in books and articles
that deal with the presented topic. It was considered that the plea bargain is an important
instrument in the repression of organized crime, and, the use of this institute within the
established legal standards, favors criminal prosecution against criminal organizations
allowing the breaking of the law of silence and overcoming the barriers that make it difficult
the reach of their leaders. Demonstrating great value in Operation Lava Jato, the awardwinning
whistleblower institute has become essential in the fight and prevention of organized
crime due to the quick results obtained from the information reported by the whistleblowers,
enabling state authorities to identify offenders, locate victims and recover assets, so that,
without their use, the criminal organization would continue to project and perpetuate itself in
a hidden way. The plea bargain was fundamental for the discovery of the biggest corruption
scandal ever seen in the country, and its use in Operation Lava Jato, allowed a greater
advance in the investigations and in the discovery of the activities of other criminal
organizations, being thus considered a fundamental instrument for the repression of these
corruption schemes.
