The article discusses how magistrates in Brazil who have been punished with mandatory retirement by the National Justice Council (CNJ) for serious offenses are still receiving payments that surpass the constitutional salary limit. This circumvention occurs through various additional perks classified as eventual rights, personal rights, and compensations, as revealed through payment statements obtained from the CNJ's remuneration panel.

On Monday, a significant decision by Supreme Court Minister Gilmar Mendes was announced, which ordered the suspension of payments to members of the Judiciary and the Public Ministry that lack legal backing from Congress-approved laws. This ruling follows another ruling made by Minister Flávio Dino aimed at halting such additional perks across the public service sector. The Supreme Court's plenary is currently engaged in discussions regarding these contentious financial practices.

This situation highlights ongoing concerns regarding the financial management and accountability within Brazil's judicial system, particularly in how magistrates can benefit from excessive payments despite facing severe disciplinary actions. The implications of this ruling and ongoing judicial deliberations could reshape the financial landscape of public service salaries in Brazil, aiming for greater consistency and legality in compensations.
