The notification of the Federal Court of Florida for the Minister of the Supreme Federal Court in the United States was sent to the (Superior Court of Justice) on Friday (15).
This is the first step in the process for the magistrate to be formally summoned from the action that runs in Florida’s court. Since it is a case that is being processed in another country, there is a rite to be followed to notify Moraes, defined by international law.
The company’s lawyer sends to the Brazilian government, through the Ministry of Justice, the letter rogatory for the processed person to be cited to respond to the action. The folder then forwards the case to the STJ – step fulfilled this week.
It is up to the President of the Court to decide whether or not to grant the execution of the summons. That is, if granted, it designates a first judge to then summon the minister. Moraes himself can communicate the STJ if he wants to be quoted. Otherwise, the president can, if he wants to send to a rapporteur in the court, so that the case is discussed.
If they are not granted what they call “Exequatur”, it means that the Brazilian State does not consider the action appropriate, and that the minister will not be formally quoted, which may take the action.
According to Sheet The AGU (General Advocacy of the Union) and the MPF (Federal Public Prosecution Service) intend to comment on the case, which should generate debates in the STJ.
Rumble’s lawyer, Martin de Luca, says the case deals with Moraes’s “censorship” against American companies and that if the minister is not quoted, the process could still run in the US without his manifestation.
“If the Brazilian government blocks the quote, it will only confirm that Moraes is not willing to defend his actions in a forum where he cannot control all aspects of the process – and where the rule of law prevails,” said by Luca.
Video platform and Truth Social, the president’s social network, have asked the Florida court that Moraes be liable civilly for decisions rendered against the company.
Companies ask the court to determine the payment of “compensatory damage”. In the document, lawyers call Moraes decisions “gag orders” and accuse him of censorship.
requests the Court to declare as unenforceable in Moraes’ orders against the platform. It also asks the court to prevent the minister from determining other companies, such as Apple, to remove it at its platform application stores.
The process is mainly around Moraes’s decision to permanently end the account of the scholarist Allan dos Santos account and prevent the creation of new profiles.
Rumble and, as a result, in February – the target of the action in the US – the STF minister sent throughout the national territory. It also determined the application of a daily fine of $ 50,000 until the orders are met.
Then, requesting the suspension of the accounts of Rodrigo Constantino, in motion that was also warned of the Florida Court.
It is another movement of the government Donald Trump against Moraes. The minister has already prohibited his entry into the US and was financially sanctioned by the magnistky law.
Sought, neither Moraes nor the STJ manifested themselves.
