Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) faces an internal crisis as justices prepare to decide on Wednesday whether to investigate fellow Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The outcome is uncertain and could reshape the court's authority and political balance.
Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) is holding an extraordinary session to decide the future of Justice Alexandre de Moraes, specifically regarding messages exchanged with Daniel Vorcaro. The session, scheduled for Tuesday, will determine whether to investigate or archive findings, with Minister Cármen Lúcia's vote potentially decisive. This situation indicates significant internal friction within the STF and poses a challenge to judicial independence.
