Public Prosecutors

Following Minister Flávio Dino's February monocratic suspension of certain extra payments—which drew support from retirees and entities but opposition from courts like TJ-SP—Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) on March 25 approved Dino's transitional rules capping 'penduricalhos' at 35% of the R$ 46,366.19 constitutional subsidy for judiciary and public prosecutors, until national legislation. The decision bans perks like 'auxílio-peru' and projects R$ 7.3 billion in annual savings.
