Moraes orders the freezing of Eduardo Bolsonaro's assets, accounts, and Pix payments.
The decision was made as part of an investigation into the congressman's activities in the United States.
247 - Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has ordered the freezing of all movable and immovable assets belonging to Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP). The blocking of the congressman's bank accounts and Pix key has also been ordered. This information was published in... Luisa Martins' blog, from CNN.
The decision, which is confidential, was issued on Saturday (19), within the scope of the investigation into the parliamentarian's activities in the United States. Jair Bolsonaro's (PL) son is prohibited from receiving or sending money. His salary in the Chamber of Deputies will be withheld from the account.
The parliamentarian, who is living in the United States, is a licensed deputy. The 120-day leave that Eduardo requested from the Chamber ends this Sunday (20).
The congressman went to the US to strengthen ties with the government of President Donald Trump, who represents the American far-right. Eduardo's objective is to encourage sanctions against Brazil.
This month, Trump sent a letter to President Lula announcing a 50% tariff on Brazilian exports. The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) opened a trade investigation against Brazil.
President Lula stated that Brazil will respond to the US with the Economic Reciprocity Act. This legislation establishes criteria for the suspension of trade concessions, investments, and obligations related to intellectual property rights.
