The president of the Federal Justice Council (CJF), Minister Luís Felipe Salomão, formally gave up on Tuesday (10) requesting extra credit of R$ 208.9 million with the objective of paying penduricalhos. In a letter sent to the Attorney General of the Union (AGU), Salomão reported that there is no longer the need for budget supplementation, due to the emergence of new revenue that allows the Judiciary to make payments with its own funds.

The withdrawal occurs after repercussion in the press regarding the request for more resources made by the Judiciary and the Public Prosecutor of the Union (MPU) who, in turn, said it needs more R$ 324 million for the payment of penduricalhos. Combined, the resource requests reached R$ 533 million.
