Bolsonaro signs anti-crime bill designed to tackle violence in Brazil

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has signed into law an anti-crime bill that toughens measures to stem a rampant deadly crime wave, although he vetoed some parts of the bill, the government said on Wednesday. The anti-crime package, which was approved by Brazil's Senate earlier this month, toughens laws to tackle corruption, organized crime and violent crime practiced by criminal gangs. The package was a major promise by Bolsonaro, a former army captain who surged to power last year on a campaign vowing to end years of corruption and spiraling violent crime.
