08\/20\/2025<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Supreme Federal Court (STF) justices consulted by Valor assess that the application of the Magnitsky Act by banks operating in Brazil should be better discussed in the case under Justice Cristiano Zanin’s jurisdiction that specifically addresses the effects of U.S. sanctions. There is divergence in the Court regarding Fl\u00e1vio Dino’s order that foreign laws, administrative acts, executive orders and judicial decisions should not be automatically applied in Brazil.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The disagreement, with some exceptions, is less about content and more about form: for part of the Supreme Court members, it would be better for the debate to occur in Mr. Zanin\u2019s case because it addresses the Magnitsky Act. The process conducted by Mr. Dino, meanwhile, discusses lawsuits filed in UK courts by Brazilian municipalities affected by environmental disasters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the case with Mr. Zanin, Federal Deputy Lindbergh Farias, Workers\u2019 Party (PT) leader in the Chamber, seeks to prevent banks operating in Brazil from blocking the accounts of Alexandre de Moraes, sanctioned by the U.S. under the Magnitsky Act in July. On August 1, Mr. Zanin sent the request to the Attorney General’s Office (PGR). He awaits the body\u2019s opinion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some magistrates say Mr. Dino\u2019s decision is too broad and may cause confusion about its effects. They also say it is necessary to better hear the actors affected by the order and know how Brazilian banks may be impacted by the decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Others defended Mr. Dino. For them, STF decisions can exceed the scope of a concrete case. They also affirm that their colleague defended the Supreme Court from external interference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Magnitsky Act can affect any company that operates in the United States or conducts transactions with the American currency. Earlier this month, justices met with bank representatives to discuss the effects of the sanction. Justices Moraes, Zanin and Gilmar Mendes participated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Brazilian banks fear U.S. sanctions<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On that occasion, financial institutions did not demonstrate intention to impede operations in Brazil on their own, but expressed concerns about how to act in case of U.S. sanction threats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Monday (18), Mr. Dino ruled that foreign laws and judicial orders do not automatically apply in Brazil, nor do they bind Brazilian companies or affect assets located in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The decision was made in a case discussing lawsuits filed in UK courts by Brazilian municipalities that were affected by the Mariana and Brumadinho mining disasters in Minas Gerais.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr. Dino\u2019s decision has binding effect. According to the justice, it applies to \u201cthe controversy depicted in these proceedings and in all others where foreign jurisdiction \u2013 or another foreign state body \u2013 intends to impose, on national territory, unilateral acts over the authority of Brazil\u2019s sovereignty bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Mr. Dino also stated that presuming immediate effectiveness of foreign acts constitutes \u201can offense to national sovereignty, public order, and common morality.\u201d<\/p>\n
