The minister of the (Federal Supreme Court) prohibited this Tuesday (3) withdrawals of amounts from parliamentary amendments, including those transferred to the accounts of companies that ultimately benefit from the resources.
According to the rapporteur, there is no impediment to financial transactions. The judge ordered the Central Bank to carry out the measure within 60 days, in conjunction with Coaf (Financial Activities Control Council).
In the same decision, the minister reiterated the determination given to the Executive Branch to adopt measures to review ministerial ordinances to correct generalities, heterogeneities and asymmetries in the allocation of
Dino set next Monday (9) as the deadline for the (Advocacy General of the Union) to provide updated information on the measures adopted.
According to the rapporteur, the Executive must also prevent the execution of amendments in cases in which it identifies an environmental offense proven by an infraction notice drawn up by an environmental agency in the work or action intended for the recipient of the amounts.
According to the minister, “public financing of environmental crimes constitutes an affront to the principles of administrative morality and the efficiency of public spending.”
The rapporteur also mentioned a previous decision according to which collective amendments used to pay payroll for healthcare personnel must follow transparency and traceability rules.
Last August, Dino determined that Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica Federal and Banco do Nordeste create specific accounts for each collective amendment (bench and commission) and that other financial institutions create technological solutions to “lock/block movements in specific accounts that result in transfers to other accounts or withdrawals from the ‘teller'”.
The public banks mentioned reported, in the records, the adequacy of their systems.
But entities involved in the process provided the rapporteur with information that the looting continued and was showing a risk of corruption.
“In recent months, evidence has multiplied that cash withdrawals represent a significant risk of corruption in the use of resources arising from parliamentary amendments, as it facilitates the transport and concealment of large amounts”, said Associação Contas Abertas, Transparência Brasil and Transparência Internacional – Brasil.
Dino is the rapporteur of an ADPF (allegation of non-compliance with a fundamental precept) that deals with the lack of transparency and traceability in the indication and execution of parliamentary amendments. This is a sum that deputies and senators send to their electoral bases, the value of which has grown in the face of hypertrophy in Congress.
In 2026, the estimated value for amendments with mandatory payment by the government reached R$37.8 billion. Since 2024, Dino has given contrary decisions demanding more transparency and methodology for indicating these values, mainly in the headings of thematic commissions and state benches, which are collectively signed.
Dino even suspended payment for Pix amendments, which fall directly into the city halls’ coffers, and blocked the release of thematic commissions items.
