A journalist was killed while writing a book on the Amazon. Here's how friends completed his work
'How to Save the Amazon,' published Tuesday in Brazil and England ahead of its U.S. release, was pieced together by fellow journalists who immersed themselves in Phillips' notes, outlines and the handful of chapters he'd already written. The resulting book, scheduled to be published in the U.S. on June 10, pairs Phillips' own writing with others' contributions in a powerful examination of the cause for which he gave his life.

Bruno Henrique of Flamengo charged, faces possible 2️⃣-year ban
The Prosecutor's Office of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) charged Bruno Henrique, Flamengo's forward, with match-fixing this Friday (1). Information from the portal Uol. He risks being suspended for up to two years for deliberately getting a yellow card in a match against Santos in the 2023 Brasileirão. There is no date yet for the trial. The charge includes evidence from the criminal case against Bruno Henrique, which, according to attached conversation screenshots, shows he clearly informed his brother Wander Nunes Pinto Junior when he would receive the card that would suspend him. Wander then confirms he will place bets on a betting site after receiving such insider information. Bruno Henrique was charged based on two articles of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD): 243 (1st paragraph) and 243-A. Article 243 addresses "deliberately acting in a way that harms the team you defend." There is an aggravation for having gained financial advantage. The prescribed punishment ranges from 360 to 720 days. The second article refers to "acting contrary to sports ethics, with the aim of influencing the result of a match, event, or equivalent." The penalty ranges from 12 to 24 matches. There is a possibility that the 34-year-old player may face a preventive suspension requested by Luis Otávio Veríssimo Teixeira, the president of the STJD. Bruno Henrique was preserved in the match against Atlético-MG last Thursday (31). He is expected to return to Flamengo's starting lineup on Sunday (3), against Ceará.

Brazil Judge Says Top Court Won't Bow to Trump Sanctions
Brazil Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes vowed to press forward with legal proceedings against former President Jair Bolsonaro despite US sanctions against him, saying neither he nor the judiciary will give in to pressure from a foreign government. 'The proceedings will move forward,' Moraes said Friday in Brasilia, his first public remarks since the Trump administration sanctioned him under its Global Magnitsky Designation earlier this week. 'The procedural course will not be accelerated or delayed. This judge will ignore the sanctions applied to him and keep working.'

Brazilian banks scramble to understand scope of US sanctions on Supreme Court justice
By Marcela Ayres BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazilian banks are scrambling to assess the domestic fallout from sweeping U.S. sanctions against a Supreme Court justice who oversees a criminal trial against an ally of President Donald Trump, as legal teams weigh how the move to isolate the judge financially could ripple through Brazil's financial system. Justice Alexandre de Moraes is presiding over the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, a far-right leader who is accused of plotting a coup to overturn his 2022 electoral loss. Bolsonaro has denied attempting to overthrow the government, but said he attended meetings aimed at reversing the vote. Trump, who has called the trial a "witch hunt" and revoked Moraes' U.S. visa, on Wednesday sanctioned the justice under the Global Magnitsky Act, accusing him of authorizing arbitrary detentions and suppressing free speech. The act allows the U.S. to impose economic penalties against foreigners it considers to have a record of corruption or human rights abuses. The U.S. sanctions were accompanied by an executive order imposing steeper tariffs on Brazilian goods that also cited the case against Bolsonaro. Sanctions under the Magnitsky Act freeze assets under U.S. jurisdiction and bar U.S. firms from doing business with designated individuals. While Moraes holds no assets in the United States, according to Brazil's Supreme Court, the sanctions could prevent him from using payment cards backed by U.S. financial companies such as Visa and Mastercard. The global reach of the U.S. financial system often leads foreign banks to restrict a wider range of transactions by sanctioned individuals to avoid secondary sanctions, raising questions of how far Brazilian financial institutions need to go to comply with the new orders. Bradesco CEO Marcelo Noronha told analysts on Thursday the bank was awaiting legal opinions from law firms it hired to assess the sanctions' reach. A source at another top-five bank in Brazil said its initial view is that domestic operations are unaffected, but international and foreign exchange transactions could breach U.S. rules. "So far, the consensus is that the safest ground is limited to transactions in local currency," the source said on condition of anonymity because the bank's analysis is private. Brazil's central bank did not immediately comment on whether it had issued guidance to financial institutions on the matter. Eduardo Bolsonaro, the former president's son and a lawmaker who is in the U.S. lobbying for his father and for amnesty for rioters who stormed government buildings following the election loss, praised the sanctions online, saying the cost of supporting Moraes "will be unbearable" and would be closely monitored by U.S. authorities. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva condemned the sanctions as unacceptable interference in Brazil's judiciary, while Vice President Geraldo Alckmin said that the Magnitsky Act should not punish judges for doing their job. In a statement on Wednesday, Brazil's Supreme Court said it "will not deviate from its role of upholding the constitution and the country's laws." On Wednesday night, Moraes was seen waving and smiling to fans at a soccer match. A picture of him making a rude gesture during the match circulated widely on social media and the local press.
