Brazil's state-run oil company Petrobras PETR4.SA has won its appeal in the Supreme Court against a 2018 labor conviction, avoiding billions of dollars in payments.
Petrobras was charged in 2018 by Brazil's top labor court for divergences in the minimum salary remuneration agreed between the company and its employees, known as RMNR.
The company was then liable to pay at least 17 billion reais ($3.57 billion) in salary corrections.
The final decision to annul the case comes more than a year after supreme court Justice Rosa Weber asked for its temporary suspension.
In a statement, Petrobras said it was awaiting the full written judgment "to provide information to the market about the decision."
