The configuration of permanence in cybercrimes: considerations on The Federal Supreme Court’s decision in inquiry 4.781/DF

Abstract

On February 16, 2021, the Federal Supreme Court’s decision in Inquiry 4.781/DF established the understanding that crimes committed in the virtual environment and remaining available and accessible to internet users are permanent crimes, with the agent in flagrante delicto, as its consummation would be prolonged in time. Thus, this article aims to reflect on this interpretation of consummation in crimes committed virtually, on the control of publication by the author and the possible need for a time limitation.
