The Federal Court of the Federal District determined that the banks to suspend payroll debt for four months recorded, taken by INSS retirees or public servants. According to the measures document, the decision, which will be valid for all of Brazil, has been in force since the beginning of this week.
In his decision, Judge Renato Coelho Borelli, of the Federal Court of the 1st Region of the DF, says that the release of approximately R $ 3.2 billion by the Central Bank, “did not reach, in its entirety, the hands of those affected by the pandemic. “
The new decision responds to a request made in popular action by the lawyer Márcio Casado, who requests that the measures taken by the BC be transmitted by the banks to the account holders and borrowers to inject resources into the financial system, which are also part of a set of actions. adopted to mitigate the impacts on the economy caused by the new coronavirus pandemic.
According to the information obtained by the newspaper O Estadão, the lawyer mentions in the popular action, based on information from the BC, that the institution inserted the amount of R $ 3.2 trillion in the banks, which, in turn, would not have passed to the same benefits for companies and retirees.
“It is a scandal that this money does not reach the productive sector, the retired person, the businessman big and small,” said Casado. The lawyer predicts that the decision directly benefits about 62 million people, including retirees, account holders, and business owners.
The lawsuit uses as justification that the debts of Brazilian retirees reach R $ 138 billion, with monthly discounts of R $ 1.1 billion. “This would justify the suspension of discounts made on their pensions.”

Banks postponed debts
