Thirty years of minimum sentence for drug traffickers: solution or patch

The government has proposed a criminal reform that sets a minimum sentence of 30 years for organized drug trafficking. The measure aims to dismantle criminal structures with sentences that do not allow reductions for good behavior. The debate is underway between those calling for a tough hand and those warning about the collapse of the prison system.

Blockchain and traceability: technology against money laundering 🔗

The proposal clashes with technical reality: organizations use cryptocurrencies and decentralized networks to move capital without leaving a trace. While judges impose 30-year sentences, money laundering algorithms evolve faster than laws. Blockchain traceability could be a key tool, but its implementation requires budget and specialized personnel that currently do not exist.

Drug lords in prison: 30 years of gym and phone calls 💪

Some kingpins are already calculating that with a 30-year sentence, they have time to open a supplement business inside the prison. They say that if they survive the first five years, they will come out with more muscle and contacts than when they entered. Meanwhile, the prison system dreams of VIP cells so they don't complain about overcrowding. Ironies of justice.
