Judge Moro and Brazilian prosecutors believe that a deeper political transformation can be achieved only through sweeping changes like overhauling campaign finance rules , doing away with the de facto immunity members of Congress enjoy in office and winnowing down the vast number of political parties, to curb horse trading . None of these changes is on the table. President Michel Temer , who was charged in June with ordering a bribe to silence a jailed politician, and other powerful politicians under criminal investigation are lashing out against the judiciary. Mr. Temer recently asked the Supreme Court to bar Attorney General Rodrigo Janot from taking further legal action against him, accusing him of a baseless crusade. Continue reading the main story Members of Congress have introduced legislation that would make it easier to rein in judges who, the politicians contend, are abusing their authority by ordering pretrial detentions and relying too heavily on plea deals. “Brazil ...

The thinking was that gang members share a lot of information about their crimes, and that information was likely to be on their electronic devices such as their cellpho...

Besides being a tragedy, her death came as a wake-up call that the local community had a serious drug problem. It was the catalyst for a seven-month investigation into a Centreville drug ring — and Lannes was one of four local residents who’d died because of heroin overdoses. Ultimately, police arrested 16 people on charges including conspiracy and distribution of heroin. They were then tried and convicted in federal court — where they were sentenced to a total of 135 years in prison. Trouble is, it’s now 201...
