| BRASILIA – A proposal before the Senate committee to reform the Penal Code provides eliminating criminal penalties for owners of brothels. The legal experts who make up the committee want to end what they call the moral “cynicism” of the current legislation. In practice, they say, the ban on brothels only serves to corrupt police who extort money and services from the owners of the establishments.
