Luiz Fux takes over Senate access log case after Moraes recusal

Minister Luiz Fux has been appointed as the new rapporteur for a lawsuit seeking access to Senate entry and exit records. The case involves Viviane Barci de Moraes, wife of Supreme Federal Court (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes, and former banker Daniel Vorcaro. The redistribution follows Moraes's declaration of recusal from the case, citing Article 144, IV of the Civil Procedure Code, which prohibits judges from presiding over matters involving family members.

The lawsuit, filed by Curitiba Councilman Guilherme Kilter, seeks to determine if Barci, Vorcaro, and several others—including Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, son of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva—visited Senate offices between 2019 and 2026. The Senate previously denied the request for information, arguing that the access logs constitute protected personal data under the General Data Protection Law (LGPD).

Separately, Minister Cristiano Zanin denied a request by Senator Alessandro Vieira to mandate the installation of a Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) to investigate Banco Master. Zanin ruled that there was insufficient evidence of illegal omission by the Senate Presidency to justify judicial intervention at this stage.
