In Brazil, a report highlights that nine ministers from the Supreme Federal Court (STF) are partners in at least 31 companies, along with 12 of their close relatives. Among these businesses, thirteen are law firms or legal institutes, while six are involved in the management, sale, and rental of real estate. This revelation raises questions about the potential conflicts of interest for the judges, particularly given their influential roles in the Brazilian judicial system.

The investigations revealed that the number of companies might be even higher due to the possibility of undisclosed partners, which could conceal further ties to these ministers. Notably, Minister Dias Toffoli was identified as a participant in a company called Maridt, one of the owners of Tayayá Resort, which has recently undergone ownership changes worth noting in the financial sector. There are also indications of connections between the ministers and three additional companies that do not list the judges' names in their official documentation, hinting at a more intricate web of relationships.

Moreover, the report uncovered three companies registered under the names of ex-spouses of ministers who have recently divorced, raising concerns about the management of potential assets and the interests of former family members in financial ventures. Given that the Organic Law of the Magistracy allows judges to be shareholders of companies and receive dividends, the implications of this arrangement suggest the need for greater transparency surrounding the financial dealings and affiliations of judicial officials in Brazil.
