Brazil: Repórter Brasil and InPACTO publish Transparency List of Forced Labour received through access to information law
In December 2014, the Brazilian Supreme Court granted an injunction determining the suspension of the list of employers found to have benefitted from slave-like labour – this is the “Lista Suja”, or Dirty List. The injunction is still valid. However, Repórter Brasil and Instituto do Pacto Nacional para a Erradicação do Trabalho Escravo (InPACTO) received and published on 3 September the list provided by the Ministry of Labour and Employment with the information about employers charged for keeping employees in slave-like conditions and who had already a final administrative decision, between May 2013 and May 2015. More details and the name of the companies can been found below.
