BNP Paribas Accepted To Pay Record Fine In The United States After Violating International Sanctions, And Now The Discussion About Financial Limits Reaches The Supreme Court, Involving Alexandre de Moraes And Action Filed By Deputy Lindbergh Farias

The largest bank in France, BNP Paribas, faced one of the harshest penalties imposed by the United States in 2014. The institution was forced to pay a fine of US$ 8.9 billion for violating restrictions imposed by the so-called Magnitsky Act, now applied against Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Federal Supreme Court (STF).

The punishment was based on transactions carried out between 2004 and 2012. American authorities considered illegal transactions totaling US$ 30 billion with Cuba, Iran, and Sudan.

These countries were on lists of international sanctions and could not receive financial transactions in dollars.

Magnitsky Act: Debate In Brazil

In Brazil, the situation of Alexandre de Moraes raises similar doubts. Banks and authorities are still analyzing how they should act in light of the U.S. decision.

The main question is to define which financial transactions can or cannot be maintained by the minister.

Moreover, the discussion has reached the Supreme Court. Deputy Lindbergh Farias, leader of the PT, filed a motion requesting that Brazilian banks do not impose restrictions on the magistrate.

The case was assigned for review by Minister Cristiano Zanin, who will now have to evaluate the request.
