Brazil Federal Police implicate deputy Cezinha de Madureira in STF influence-peddling scheme

A Federal Police report underpinning an operation against federal deputy Cezinha de Madureira alleges he engaged in influence peddling before Supreme Federal Court (STF) ministers, specifically citing three cases—two under Justice Kássio Nunes Marques and one under Justice Edson Fachin with a ruling authored by Gilmar Mendes. The details emerge in a decision by Justice Flávio Dino, who cites the report. The allegations, if substantiated, would mark a significant integrity challenge for Brazil's top court, but the deputy has not yet responded and the evidence remains under judicial seal.
