The decision was handed down last week, however it was released only last Wednesday (14) by the 2nd Federal Civil Court of Federal Regional Court (TRF) signed by federal judge Anderson Santos da Silva, the injunction also states that, if the company does not comply the decision, the Public Prosecutor's Office may investigate the "possible commission of a crime of disobedience by the directors and administrators of the company".
The crime of disobedience has a penalty of 15 days to 6 months in prison, and the measure also applies to the legal representatives of 3 charter companies in the region, according to the TRF.
The judge determined that the Federal Highway Police (PRF) be informed for those who prevent travel to the Federal District. The federal court injunction is based on a lawsuit filed by the Brazilian Association of Land Passenger Transport Companies (Abrati).
Therefore, this is not the first time that Buser has faced problems with justice. In August 2020, the Federal Regional Court of Rio de Janeiro prohibited the company's operation in the state.
Abrati representatives called it a “very important decision”. “However, more important than having a decision is the monitoring of compliance, out of respect for the judiciary and the rules that protect consumers from precariousness of public transport, which has been deceived by the irregular operator and needs urgent protection", defended Letícia Pineschi, board member of the entity.
Company says it continues to operate in the DF
Through a note, Buser reported that it remains operating normally in Brasília through its platform that offers “various types of travel”.
“The court's decision, in a preliminary manner, prohibits only the collaborative charter modality. The injunction is being questioned and awaits judgment of the appeal. It is important to emphasize that collaborative charter has already been legally recognized by the highest levels of the Brazilian Judiciary”, concludes the platform.
