São Paulo Courts Issue Conflicting Orders on Transwolff: Contract Termination Blocked as Operations Suspended

Overview

• Judge Randolfo Ferraz de Campos of the 14th Public Finance Court granted an injunction suspending the municipal decree that declared the Transwolff concession in default.
• The ruling orders the city to hand over the full administrative case files within five days under a R$10,000 daily fine and bars transferring routes or signing emergency replacements.
• In a separate case, the Criminal Organizations and Tax Crimes court suspended Transwolff’s activities, kept its managers removed, and authorized early sale of seized assets.
• The São Paulo municipal government says it was not heard before the finance-court decision and will appeal, while it reviews the criminal-court order.
• SPTrans remains in operational control of service previously run by Transwolff, which handled 133 bus lines in the South Zone, as investigations allege PCC-linked funds that the company denies.
