This is a work that focuses critically on the stance of the High Courts in regard to the interpretation of the so called principle of insignificance or principle of minimum intervention. It exposes the way in which the Supreme Court and Superior Court have been using the said principle, with the criteria used by the courts, with particular focus on the idea of minimal offensiveness of the conduct. It is proposed to adopt a meaningful concept of action, whose expression leads to a sense of the idea of normative intent of offensiveness able to represent the overall sense of the principle discussed. Finally, in light of this conception, it presents a critique and a proposal for a more precise delimitation of the criteria for applying the principle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article attempts to analyze the position of subjects of the process under the new draft Criminal Procedure Code, especially the prosecutor. We recognize the adoption of a predominantly adversarial profile in the project, although not a full orientation. From this perspective, we seek to analyze the initiative to produce evidence to the parts, keeping the distance of the judge, and also the effective delivery of the command of the investigation to prosecutors as evidence to situate what must be the procedural posture of the prosecutor. It is the recognition of an evolutionary trend of the Brazilian legal system towards an adversarial model, establishing the basis of the ideal position of prosecutor in a system of this nature.
