Brazil: Event in Brazil
CNJ and BC sign agreement to discipline payment of precatórios The National Council of Justice (CNJ) and the Central Bank signed an agreement this Tuesday (6) for the creation of stricter rules for the concession of precatório credits, federal government debt securities. The new rules aim to discipline the parallel marketing of precatórios, which occurs with discount operations in the purchase and sale by companies, financial institutions, and law firms.

Gilmar demands measures from the STF and STJ against irregularities in precatórios. The proposal was signed by the president of the CNJ and the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Edson Fachin, and the president of the Central Bank, Gabriel Galípolo, and will be put to a vote in the council's plenary between October 8 and 15. Among the most important rules is the requirement of a public deed to validate the transfer of ownership of credits before the Judiciary. The Central Bank will be responsible for measures to determine that regulated financial market institutions include credits in electronic records for tracking. The proposal also aims to veto the purchase of precatórios by lawyers acting as patrons of a case related to precatórios and to increase the requirements for credit transfers to charitable entities. The payment of precatórios must be made to the holder registered in the Justice system and cannot be transferred to intermediaries. Payment will be made through a previously informed bank account. Master The case of billions in precatórios came to light after a report by Portal Metrópoles revealed the existence of a contract of R$ 427 million between Banco Master and the law firm of lawyer Camilla Ramos, wife of judge Newton Ramos, of the Regional Federal Court of the 1st Region (TRF1). The amount would be paid in case of success in cases related to the sugarcane sector. The contract was found by the Federal Police (PF) on the cell phone of former banker Daniel Vorcaro. In a statement released to the press, the law firm Queiroga, Vieira, Queiroz e Ramos declared that it has a formal contract with Master to act in processes involving precatórios, but has not received any payment "as a fee or for success." "The firm also clarifies that the success fee agreed with the bank for acting in cases of lawsuits involving precatórios was 5%, a level below that provided for in the CPC and the OAB statute," the firm added. The PF's access to Vorcaro's cell phone also revealed that the former banker's advisors mentioned that the lawyer and the judge would be from the 'KN Group', in reference to Minister Nunes Marques, of the Supreme Federal Court (STF). After the disclosure of the conversations, the minister declared that he had never exchanged messages with Vorcaro nor authorized anyone to speak on his behalf.
