BRCourts swirl with hangers and salaries reach R$ 495,000 in May
The article reports that in May, 616 judges from six state courts in Brazil received salaries exceeding the constitutional ceiling of R$46,300, with some reaching up to R$495,000. This occurred despite a Supreme Court (STF) ruling that restricted 'penduricalhos' (additional benefits). The data was compiled by Folha de S. Paulo based on information from eight state courts, excluding Pernambuco. Some courts explained that certain payments were due to specific benefits like holiday indemnifications, which are allowed under new guidelines approved by the National Council of Justice (CNJ) and the National Council of the Public Prosecutor’s Office (CNMP).
