CNJ orders return of R$ 4.7 billion to Union in sugarcane sector cases cited in Master case
The measure set a five-day deadline for the Regional Federal Court of the 1st Region to definitively cancel the collection documents.
TL;DR
- The National Council of Justice ordered the cancellation of 16 court-ordered payments amounting to R$4.7 billion.
- These payments are to be returned to the Union due to irregular issuance to sugarcane companies.
- The irregularity occurred because the payments were released before final court decisions, violating Brazilian law.
- The court also investigated an improper withdrawal of over R$16.1 million from judicial accounts.
- The Regional Federal Court of the 1st Region has five days to cancel the payments and explain the R$16.1 million withdrawal.
