The Supreme Federal Court has decided, by a majority vote, to uphold one of the country\u00b4s principal devices to combat work akin to slavery, the \u00b4dirty list\u00b4 of slave labour, on Monday 14.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>ADPF 509<\/span><\/b><\/a> (Ordinance) was issued by the Brazilian Association of Real Estate Developers (ABRAINC) in January 2018 shedding doubt on the constitutionality of inter-ministerial ordinance MTPS\/MMIRDH n\u00ba 04\/2016, that underpins the mechanism. The organisation alleges that publication of the list could only be regulated by a specific law and not by Executive authority.<\/span><\/p>\n

When casting his vote, the rapporteur of the action, Minister Marco Aur\u00e9lio, stressed that the device makes \u201ctransparency viable\u201d and that \u201crather than finalising sanctions, it publicises final decisions on infraction reports issued by the income tax inspector.\u201d This means the \u00b4dirty list\u00b4 should not be seen as a mechanism that imposes sanctions on businesses that are not set out in law, but instead as a means of transparency.<\/span><\/p>\n
