🇧🇷⚖️❌🇺🇸 — Minister Flávio Dino, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), has ruled that measures taken by foreign governments cannot affect Brazilians without support in national legislation. The decision was handed down in a monocratic ruling regarding the Mariana Agreement, but with a clear signal against the application of the Magnitsky Law in the country.

⚠️ Although the decision refers to a case concerning the agreement signed in the aftermath of the mining dam disaster, Dino stresses that the order applies “in these proceedings and in all others in which foreign jurisdiction – or any foreign state body – seeks to impose, within national territory, unilateral acts over the authority of Brazil’s sovereign institutions."

“It is forbidden to enforce impositions, restrictions of rights, or coercive instruments carried out by legal entities incorporated under Brazilian law and headquartered and managed in the country, as well as those with branches or any professional, commercial, or brokerage activity in the Brazilian market, arising from determinations contained in unilateral foreign acts,” the minister wrote in his ruling.

💰 In addition to ruling that foreign sanctions cannot be applied to Brazilians without legal backing, Dino convened a public hearing to discuss the decision “with all the complexities involved.” He also ordered that the ruling be communicated to all agencies within the National Financial System, such as the Central Bank, the Brazilian Federation of Banks (Febraban), and the National Confederation of Insurance Companies (CNseg).

“Transactions, operations, contract cancellations, asset freezes, transfers abroad (or from abroad) by determination of a foreign state, in disagreement with the principles of this decision, require express authorization from this Court. Laws, acts, and rulings from another country, as well as any declarations of intent, will have no effect in Brazil when they offend national sovereignty, public order, and good morals!”

🇧🇷🇺🇸 BRAZILIAN SUPREME COURT JUSTICE PROHIBITS THE APPLICATION OF THE MAGNITSKY ACT IN BRAZIL (???)

Justice Dino’s attempt to block the application of the Magnitsky Act through an supreme court pen stroke is the materialization of the institutional crisis Brazil is experiencing. It’s like trying to repeal the law of gravity with a random court ruling. The result? Chaos.

This is a turning point for all those who pretended not to see the serious institutional crisis into which the regime has plunged the country.

Will the financial elites of Brazil choose to sink along with this troupe of lunatics, or will they sit down with the real adults and solve the problem that affects everyone?

🇺🇸🔍🇧🇷⚖️ — Members of the White House, the State Department, and the Treasury Department were informed about the decision of Justice Flávio Dino of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), which prevents the application of laws or court rulings from other countries in Brazil

💬 The information was confirmed by journalist Paulo Figueiredo, who stated that the notice to U.S. authorities was given minutes after Justice Dino’s decision was made public. According to him, there is still no official position, but a response is expected. "They will decide what to do, but obviously it will not go unanswered."

❌ Attorney Martin de Luca, who represents Rumble and Trump Media in a lawsuit against Justice Moraes in the Federal Court of Florida, criticized Dino’s decision, claiming it is a "political message to Washington" and amplifies the "perception of insecurity."

"Justice Flávio Dino’s decision is presented as a defense of sovereignty, but in practice it sends a political message to Washington precisely at a time when Brazil and the United States would need institutional dialogue, not friction. The risk is that instead of protecting the country, this kind of response amplifies the perception of legal uncertainty and fragility in the business environment — something that can drive away investors and harm Brazil at the very moment it most needs external confidence."
