A company named Maridt Participações S.A. was established in August 2020, where Supreme Federal Court Minister Dias Toffoli is a partner alongside his brothers. The company was launched with a remarkably low share capital of R$ 150, the same amount they invested when they took control later that year. The brothers acquired the company from São Paulo business people, André Fonseca and Tiago Bernardino, who were involved in providing services to lawyers and accountants.

This acquisition has drawn attention due to the low capital involved, and queries have emerged regarding the company's operations and purpose. The initial purpose of Maridt was also noted to be as Plataforma 27S Participações S.A., suggesting some level of rebranding or refocusing after the Toffoli brothers became involved. A representative from Approved Legal, the firm that assisted with the company formation, claimed they were approached by an attorney for these services but could not recall specific details regarding the request or the attorney's identity.

The implications of this story could be significant, particularly in terms of transparency in business dealings involving public figures such as Minister Toffoli. It raises questions about corporate governance and ethical considerations when public officials engage in private business ventures, especially regarding the relaying of information to the public about the operations of their companies, particularly when established with nominal capital amounts in contexts that may relate to their public duties.
