The decision was made by Judge Lívia Simonin, who recognized the illegality of blockages at PR-180 in Goioerê, about 500 km from the state capital. Protesters questioned the president’s victory at the time. The Public Prosecution Service of Paraná announced that five of the convicts must pay $ 40,000, two will pay $ 30,000 and one will pay $ 10,000. The values will be monetarily corrected since November 2022.
