🇺🇸📝🇧🇷⚖️👨‍⚖ — The U.S. government has removed Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre de Moraes and his wife from the list of individuals sanctioned under the Magnitsky Act and from the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)

✔️ With the decision, all financial and territorial restrictions linked to the Magnitsky sanctions are lifted, which had prevented the justice from traveling to or owning property in U.S. territory, as well as from conducting transactions in dollars or doing business with U.S. entities.

“The United States has consistently expressed concern over efforts to weaponize the judicial process to instrumentalize political differences in Brazil and therefore welcomes the bill approved by the Brazilian Congress’s Chamber of Deputies as a first step to counter such abuses. At last, we are seeing the beginning of a path toward improving our relations,” said U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau last night, in what may be an early explanation for the Magnitsky revocation.

🇧🇷📝🇺🇸 — ⚖️ — Brazilian congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), currently in self-exile in the United States, issued a statement expressing regret over the removal of sanctions by Donald Trump’s administration against Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre de Moraes, saying this outcome is the responsibility of the Brazilian people who “gave up on their own country”

"PUBLIC STATEMENT

We received with regret the news of the most recent decision announced by the American government. We are grateful for the support that President Trump has shown throughout this path and for the attention he has dedicated to the grave crisis of freedoms afflicting Brazil.

We regret that Brazilian society, when faced with the window of opportunity it had in its hands, was unable to build the political unity necessary to confront its own structural problems. The lack of internal cohesion and the insufficient support for the initiatives conducted abroad contributed to the worsening of the current situation.

We sincerely hope that President Donald Trump’s decision is successful in defending the strategic interests of the American people, as is his duty. As for us, we will continue working, firmly and resolutely, to find a path that allows for the liberation of our country, for as long as necessary and despite adverse circumstances.

May God bless America, and may He have mercy on the Brazilian people.

Eduardo Bolsonaro
Paulo Figueiredo"
