Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes decided this Wednesday to reallocate BRL 150 million (USD 25.6 million) from the so-called “Car Wash” fund to three Brazilian states to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus. The resources will be destined to Maranhão (BRL 44 million), Tocantins (BRL 29.6 million) and Mato Grosso (BRL 79.4 million), in response to requests made by the states themselves. The amount refers to a fine paid by Petrobras, and had initially been set aside to combat the Amazon fires — but was reallocated due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Back in March, the Supreme Court already directed BRL 1.6 billion to fight the disease.
