Abstract

The non-criminal prosecution agreement was dependent on the criminal procedure code through Law 13964/19, with the aim of improving the negotiated justice and favoring the fulfillment of demands in order to generate more effective punishment. However, a problem took over, namely confession as a requirement for the conclusion of the agreement between the Public Prosecutor and the accused, which denotes unconstitutionality for this purpose, in view of its notorious needlessness, gaining an advantage to the parquet in possible prosecution. Starting from the bibliographic and documentary method, the present work will present how the unconstitutionality of the material confession occurs, starting from the analysis of the historical evolution of the criminal process to the insertion of the agreement in the Brazilian legal scope, in order to show the addiction without the requirement of confession. So, although it is an innovative institute, the discussion is valid, considering that it will cause practical legal effects over time.
