Kim Kataguiri: This was the report I approved in the Finance Committee this week.
Kim Kataguiri: Unfortunately, scams on the internet are happening more and more, affecting mainly the elderly.
By the way, within that bill that I approved, to increase penalties for theft, robbery, receiving stolen goods, fraud, in the fraud area we turned it into an unconditional public criminal action, that is... Before, you forced an elderly person who suffered a scam to file a complaint, to go to the judiciary, to go to the Public Prosecutor's Office to punish the criminal who committed that fraud.
Kim Kataguiri: But many times the elderly person feels embarrassed about having been scammed, he thinks it's his fault and not the criminal's, he feels ashamed and does not go to justice.
Kim Kataguiri: Now we allowed the Public Prosecutor's Office, without the need for anyone's prompting, to pursue that criminal.
