Judge Roberto Valim Bellochi, president of the TJ before Vianna Santos, voluntarily retired in , when he left the Presidency. Therefore, judges Tarcísio Ferreira Vianna Cotrim, Fábio Gouvea and Penteado Navarro are still active. The three were members of the Court's Budget Committee at the time of the irregular arrears payments.

Bellocch received R$ million; Navarro hairstyle, R$ thousand; Fábio Gouvêa, R$ thousand), and Vianna Cotrim R$ thousand.
Various discussions
The president of the court, judge Ivan Sartori, reported the case. He explained that, as Navarro is president of the São Paulo TRE, he also authorizes payments there. “This is very dangerous”, he warned, as “there are signs that he has committed an illegal act”. According to Sartori, he violated the principle of equality by releasing payments only to some civil servants and magistrates.
Sartori had asked for Navarro's removal from the presidency of the electoral court, but judge Walter de Almeida Guilherme warned that this could not be done.

The most that the TJ can interfere with the TRE, according to Guilherme, is to appoint two judges to the court. But the thesis was not accepted by the majority.

As he already voluntarily retired at the end of , an administrative punishment would, in practice, be “useless”. Almeida Guilherme rejected the argument. He said that this was “a mainly moral judgment”, and was accompanied by his colleagues. As president of the TJ, Bellocchi authorized himself the advance payment of R$ million in arrears.
