Brazil STF Internal Crisis Escalates Over Moraes Investigation
Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) is experiencing an unprecedented internal crisis, with the plenary set to decide on an investigation into Justice Alexandre de Moraes. This follows allegations of favoritism and a Federal Police probe ordered by Justice André Mendonça, which Moraes has publicly denounced as 'fraud' and 'farce' driven by 'revenge'. The situation is confirmed to be an institutional crisis, with high confidence in the immediate developments, but the outcome of the plenary vote and its broader implications remain uncertain.
