The statement was made after Donald Trump announced sanctions against Viviane Barci and against a company linked to the Moraes family, based on magnitsky law, on Monday (22)
The Minister of Institutional Relations, (PT-PR), held the family of former President Jair Bolsonaro for the sanctions imposed by the United States to Viviane Barci, wife of the Supreme Court Minister (STF). The measures were applied on Monday (22), based on magnitsky law.
For Gleisi, the decision represents a “conspiracy against Brazil”, and attacks on the family of Moraes do not cease. “The Bolsonaro family conspiracy against Brazil does not stop: now, the Trump government has applied magnitsky’s sanctions to Viviane Barci, wife of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, as a retaliation for the trial where the STF condemned the scammers. It’s impressive: they attack the judiciary and still want to discuss amnesty and reduction of punishment for coup,” the minister wrote on a social network.
The statement was made after US President Donald Trump announced sanctions against Viviane Barci and a company linked to the Moraes family, the Lex Institute of Legal Studies, based on the so-called global magnitsky Act, US legislation that allows sanctions against individuals accused of corruption or human rights violation.
In an official note, o, classifying it as a “politicization and distortion in the application of the law”. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also mentioned that one of the co-authors of the legislation themselves, Democratic Deputy James McGovern, recently manifested against the political use of the norm.
“This new attack on Brazilian sovereignty will not achieve its goal of benefiting those who led the failed attempt by coup, some of whom have already been condemned by. Brazil will not bow to this aggression,” says an excerpt from the note, referring to the coup attempt by Jair Bolsonaro and allied military after the 2022 elections results.
The former president was sentenced to 27 years and 3 months in prison, accused of leading a criminal organization and trying to abolish the Democratic Rule of Law. Sanctions impose economic restrictions on targets, including freezing goods and blocking bank accounts in the United States or institutions connecting to the US financial system. In July, Minister Alexandre de Moraes had already been included in the list of sanctioned under the same law.
