Brazil govt allies seek STF to lift secrecy in Flávio Bolsonaro probe, cite unequal treatment

Pro-government lawmakers petitioned STF Justice Edson Fachin to have the full court lift secrecy in the Dark Horse case involving Flávio Bolsonaro, alleging rapporteur André Mendonça treated it unequally by publicizing other investigations. The move escalates political-legal friction ahead of the 2026 election, but the court's response is uncertain.
