Lula’s assistants claim that national sovereignty is non -negotiable. Magistrates refute the idea that American sanctions will influence judgment on the attempted coup d’état – on the contrary, the analysis of the case should be permeated by the discourse on national sovereignty.
STF ministers try to measure the effects of applying magnitsky law against Moraes. The legislation deals with serious human rights violations and tries to decree the freezing of their targets.
The decision to use it against a Brazilian is unprecedented. The US applied the same sanction to members of Venezuela higher cuts in the past.
The measure was published on an American Treasury website, which recorded the minister’s inclusion under an OFAC sanction, a foreign asset control firm, which belongs to the United States Treasury Department.
Through this decision, the Trump government determines the freezing of any good or Moraes assets, and can also ban US financial entities from doing dollar operations in favor of the minister. This includes the MasterCard and Visa credit card flags, for example.
