Moraes Denies Favoritism, Calls Mendonça-Ordered Probe a 'Fraud' Ahead of STF Plenary

STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes formally denied favoring former Banco Master banker Daniel Vorcaro and labeled the Federal Police investigation ordered by Minister André Mendonça as 'fraud and lies' with 'political-electoral motivation.' The STF plenary convenes Tuesday to review the police report containing over 50 messages, escalating an internal judicial conflict. The outcome could affect institutional trust in Brazil's top court and its handling of politically sensitive cases.

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.
