Limitations: Single-justice decision (the article does not give the number of the claim); the court decision was not opened. In February 2024 the justice clarified, according to searches, that the suspension covered only the MPF agreement, not those of the CGU and AGU (not opened). The R$8.5 billion figure is the total of the agreement, not the outstanding balance.
