Last year, in july, trump declared magnitsky law against brazilian supreme court judge Alexandre de Moraes. This forbade american financial companies from doing businesses with any bank in which Alexandre had an account, and threatened financial relations between both countries
Nothing happened. Alexandre continued having a bank account, and was business as usual between brazil and the US. In december trump removed the sanction
Did american banks just ignore the governments orders and continue doing businesses with brazil like nothing happened? Werent they supposed to face heavy fines for doing so? Did the american government simply not issue the fines, ignoring its own law?
