The United States government has threatened to sanction corrupt judges in various countries of the world, including Nigeria.

The warning comes after Trump’s government sanctioned Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes for alleged abuse of power.

This was made known in a post on X on Wednesday by the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, threatening similar punitive actions against other countries.

Rubio announced that Justice Moraes was sanctioned under the Global Magnitsky Act for serious human rights abuses, including arbitrary detentions and violations of free speech.

He said: “@POTUS and @USTreasury have sanctioned Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes under the Global Magnitsky sanctions program for serious human rights abuses. Let this be a warning to those who would trample on the fundamental rights of their countrymen—judicial robes cannot protect you.”

DAILY reports that the Global Magnitsky sanctions involve financial restrictions and travel bans targeting individuals found guilty of gross human rights violations.

The law is named after Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who exposed corruption, was imprisoned, and died under suspicious circumstances in 2009.
