How long have you been married? My understanding is that if you have been married to a Brazilian woman for more than 5 years, then it doesn't matter.

They don't require a police background check anymore if you do the permanency in Brazil at the PF. They will have you sign a declaration that says you have no criminal record in Brazil or abroad. As others have stated, after 5 years of marriage it doesn't matter.
