Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has become a target of US President Donald Trump's sanctions, but the Latin American country's court ruled Monday that Washington's censure is out of bounds AFP Brazil's Supreme Court ruled on Monday that foreign legislation did not have jurisdiction in its country, after the United States used a law to sanction a judge on the court. Washington used the Magnitsky Act, a US law which provides for sanctions against individuals accused of human rights violations around the globe, to impose restrictions on Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is presiding over the trial of former president Jair Bolsonaro's alleged coup plot. Moraes is also the judge which banned the social network X, formerly Twitter, in Brazil last year.
