description This article intends to reflect upon the current practice of torture in Brazil, notably on its use as an instrument to obtain confessions that are later taken to the judicial proceedings and valued as evidence giving rise to manifestly unfair convictions. Still, the objective is to list some measures that can be envisioned as corrective mechanisms against the culture of impunity and systematic use of torture. For that, it makes use of a wide systematic review of the bibliography on the subject, including international conventions, normative acts and reports produced by authoritative institutions. In addition, a case study will be carried out on a rumored trial that culminated in the conviction of seven innocent people for an alleged crime committed in the context of a satanic ritual in the city of Guaratuba, on the Parana coast, in the 1990s. The focus will be the use of torture during the police investigations of the so-called "Evandro Case". In light of the aforementioned case, the research problem is precisely to verify to what extent torture still persists as an institutional practice of police apparatus in Brazil. The hypothesis that guides the work is that, even today, torture is used because there is impunity and the illicit evidence derived from it continues to be valued for unjust convictions.
