Anti-corruption measures
In 2016, Lorenzoni was part of the committee that turned the ten anti-corruption measures proposed by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office into law. During the process of discussion, four versions of the report were presented.
The first report Lorenzoni presented on 9 November criminalised "caixa 2" and proposed integrity tests for public agents with solely administrative consequences, while the original text had proposed criminal and civil lawsuits.[15]
The second report, presented on 21 November, typified the crime of "caixa 2", with sentences of two to five years for people who use non-declared resources in electoral campaigns.[16] These changes were seen as a way for politicians who used "caixa 2" before the change in law to seek amnesty, although the report had not proposed the amnesty directly.[17] Also, vote selling was typified as crime. This version had 17 measures.
Lorenzoni's third report on 22 November decreased the number of measures from 17 to 12, removing those that mentioned popular lawsuits and international cooperation pleas.[18]
The fourth report, with 20 changes from the previous one, was presented on 23 November. Among the changes there were: raising the minimum amount required for active and passive corruption to be considered a major crime from 100 to 10,000 minimum wage equivalents (about R$8.8 million); removal of the time to set up investigations and finish denounces;[clarification needed] prosecuting those who practice it in the name of a candidate (in addition to the candidates themselves, their political parties and donors).[19] The Committee unanimously approved this version the same day, with 30 votes in favour.[20]
Prison in second instance
In October 2016, Lorenzoni supported the decision of the Supreme Federal Court of allowing the prison of defendants convicted in second instance, and said the will include it among the anti-corruptions measures. "What are we gonna do? We're gonna bring this decision of the Supreme Federal Court and put in the final report. In other words, from now on, there is a decision of the Supreme Court and in a few months there will be, in the Brazilian Code of Penal Procedure, the same decision confirmed in a law by the Brazilian parliament", he said.[21][22]
"Caixa 2" amnesty
In November 2016, Lorenzoni opposed "caixa 2" amnesty,[23] along with Deputies Fernando Francischini (SD-PR),[23] Alessandro Molon (REDE-RJ),[24] Vanderlei Macris (PSDB-SP),[25] Carlos Sampaio (PSDB-SP),[25] Joaquim Passarinho (PSD-PA),[25] and Senators Alvaro Dias (PV-PR)[26] and Ana Amélia Lemos (PP-RS),[27] listening to the claims of the civil society that signed for the approval of the 10 Anti-corruption Measures, and of the Public Prosecutor's Office, author of the bill.[23]
