247 - Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the freezing of all movable and immovable assets of Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP). The congressman's accounts and Pix password were also frozen. The information was published on Luísa Martins' blog on CNN.
The confidential decision was issued on Saturday (19), as part of the investigation into the congressman'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 his account.
The congressman, who is living in the United States, is a licensed congressman. The 120-day leave that Eduardo requested from the Chamber ends this Sunday (20).
The congressman traveled to the US to strengthen ties with the administration of President Donald Trump, who represents the American far-right. Eduardo's goal is to encourage sanctions against Brazil.
This month, Trump sent a letter to President Lula and announced a 50% tariff increase 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 suspending trade concessions, investments, and obligations related to intellectual property rights.
