Moraes will feel the full weight of US sanctions.
All the freedom-loving people in Brazil are celebrating the decision by US Donald J. Trump administration to impose heavy sanction under the Magnitsky law against tyrant Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes – the man leading the ‘witch hunt’ against former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, a stanch Trump ally.
This comes less than two weeks after the US cancelled visas for Moraes and 7 other supreme court justices and many other top officials – and their families – in an unprecedented move.
This is happening over the sham prosecution of Bolsonaro and many other conservative voices.
Axios reported:
“The sanctions are a marked escalation of the increasingly tense dispute between the U.S. and Brazil over Trump ally Bolsonaro, with major tariffs looming as soon as Friday as well.
The Treasury Department said it would impose the sanctions against Alexandre de Moraes, the judge who oversaw the prosecution of Bolsonaro and briefly banned Elon Musk’s X in the country.”
“The sanctions order blocks any assets de Moraes has in the U.S. and prohibits U.S. citizens from transactions with him.
The department said he was being targeted under executive orders covering anyone ‘who is responsible for or complicit in, or has directly or indirectly engaged in, serious human rights abuse’.”
O Globo reported (translated from Portuguese):
“According to the US government, all of Alexandre de Moraes’s potential assets in the US are frozen, as are any companies linked to him. The minister is also prohibited from conducting transactions with US citizens and companies—using US-branded credit cards, for example.”
