Alexandre de Moraes issues an important decision on the new administrative improbity law
Translated from the original.
We share the decision in ADI 7,042, in which the eminent Justice Alexandre de Moraes suspended a provision of the new Administrative Improbity Law that granted the Public Prosecution Service a monopoly of standing to bring administrative improbity actions.

For Medina Osório, “the federal public legal service needs to play a significant leading role in protecting Brazil's public assets. The decision handed down by the eminent Justice Alexandre de Moraes deserves applause,” he maintains
