Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article examines the contemporary practice of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court<\/strong> (STF) through three theoretical perspectives: G\u00fcnther Jakobs<\/strong>‘s Criminal Law of the Enemy<\/strong> (Feindstrafrecht<\/em>), Eugenio Ra\u00fal Zaffaroni<\/strong>‘s critical analysis of the structural selectivity<\/strong> of the criminal system, and the historical-comparative examination of Nazi criminal law doctrine<\/strong>. Part I establishes the methodological standpoint: an exercise in constitutional vigilance<\/strong> that constitutes neither institutional hostility toward the STF nor a defense of coup-mongering, but rather seeks to name the dogmatic mobilizations<\/strong> of punitive power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parts II through V develop the three analytical perspectives: Jakobs’s conceptual architecture<\/strong> of the Feindstrafrecht<\/em> with its three structural pillars (anticipation of punishability, disproportionality of penalties, procedural flexibilization), the Zaffaronian critique<\/strong> of the enemy as an absolutist remnant and the thesis of structural selectivity<\/strong> from In Search of Lost Penalties<\/em>, and the Nazi legacy<\/strong> of dogmatic structures \u2014 Volksgemeinschaft<\/em>, Willensstrafrecht<\/em>, gesundes Volksempfinden<\/em>, T\u00e4tertyp<\/em>, Volksgerichtshof<\/em>, and Unternehmen<\/em> \u2014 that persist in attenuated forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part VI applies the three perspectives to the relevant STF precedents<\/strong> (Inquiry No. 4,781, ADPF 572, AP 1060, AP 2508, AP 2668), identifies seven structural homologies<\/strong> with Nazi criminal law, and draws the essential distinction: it is a difference of degree<\/strong>, not one of structure. Part VII answers the three central questions: the STF has partially adopted<\/strong> the Jakobsian model, fully reproduced<\/strong> Zaffaroni’s selectivity model, and mobilized Nazi dogmatic structures<\/strong> without sharing their axiological content. The conclusion is an exercise in strict constitutional vigilance in the Zaffaronian sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
