Brazil Supreme Court trial on Clean Slate Law

Overview

The Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) has scheduled a virtual trial to resume from September 11 to September 18, 2026. The court is reviewing the constitutionality of Complementary Law 219 of 2025, which introduced changes to the ‘Lei da Ficha Limpa’ (Clean Slate Law).

The legal challenge, initiated by the Rede Sustentabilidade party, contests modifications made by Congress regarding the ineligibility of politicians convicted of crimes. Key changes include a 12-year cap on total ineligibility periods for administrative misconduct and a new method for calculating the eight-year ban, which would now begin at the time of conviction rather than after a sentence is completed.

As of the latest reports, the vote stands at 2-0 against the changes, with Ministers Cármen Lúcia and Luiz Fux voting to maintain the original restrictions. The final ruling is expected to have significant implications for the eligibility of various political figures in the upcoming 2026 elections.
