Brazil STF Justice Mendonça Accused of Plotting to Disrupt Elections, Shield Bolsonaro

The Intercept Brasil alleges Supreme Federal Court Justice André Mendonça is leading a scheme to disrupt Brazilian elections and protect Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, framing it as a coup plot by Bolsonarism. The claim is sourced from an advocacy outlet and lacks corroboration; the actual actions or evidence are unspecified. If true, it would represent a significant judicial-political crisis in Brazil, but the reliability is low.
