Summary: The financial crisis has caused the Brazilian Treasury to increase the use of political sanctions, namely, disproportionate restrictions on fundamental rights as a way of collecting taxes in the margins of due process of law. This is the case of "special monitoring regimes" imposed on debtors deemed to be contingent. Although it has long been rejected by the Supreme Court's case law, the practice continues to be adopted by the Treasury, especially in the Member States, which have more recently invoked, in defense of their legitimacy, a precedent in which the closure of industry of cigarettes because of their default. Such a precedent, however, does not have the scope that it has been intended to give. Its presentation was based on particularities of that case, without representing a change in the jurisprudence of the STF around the subject. It cannot be said, therefore, that the "special monitoring regimes" are constitutional, even if their objectives are legitimate.
