In Brazil, Judge Alexandre de Moraes was removed from the list of individuals sanctioned by the United States after being included for his role in the trial against former president Jair Bolsonaro. His wife and the Lex Institute, which she heads, were also taken off the list. The Brazilian government praised the measure, which followed a telephone conversation between President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his U.S. counterpart, Donald Trump. Washington had sanctioned the Supreme Court minister in July, accusing him of authorizing arbitrary detentions and suppressing freedom of expression, particularly through the high-profile sentence against Bolsonaro for attempted coup.
