Overview
- Justice Flávio Dino ordered the suspension of every investigation and proceeding tied to the Soy Moratorium, with the freeze in force until the full court reviews the matter.
- The order pauses the Superintendência-Geral of Cade's administrative inquest opened on November 3 targeting 15 executives, which was based on 2019–2024 emails and internal reports indicating coordinated commercial conduct.
- Abiove requested the Supreme Court intervention, denies wrongdoing, and said the ruling recognizes the pact's legality while documents underpinning the probe remain under seal.
- A prior Cade tribunal decision had set the moratorium to be suspended starting January 1, 2026, but a Federal Court in Brasília reversed that in August, allowing it to continue during inquiries.
- Agriculture Minister Carlos Fávaro called the pause an opportunity for a negotiated solution among producers, trading firms and environmental groups.
