Supreme Federal Court ministers exchange accusations of abuse of authority
The Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) is facing an institutional crisis as ministers André Mendonça and Alexandre de Moraes exchange serious accusations. Mendonça has filed a defense requesting the dismissal of investigations against him, alleging that Moraes committed abuse of authority and administrative improbity by using unauthenticated Federal Police intelligence reports to target him. Mendonça characterized these reports as lacking probative value and accused Moraes of directing investigations to target political opponents.
In a separate development, Minister Luiz Fux ordered the Senate to provide entry and exit records for eight individuals within ten days. The request, brought by a municipal councilor, includes Daniel Vorcaro, an ex-banker involved in the Compliance Zero operation, and Viviane Barci de Moraes, the wife of Minister Alexandre de Moraes. Fux noted that, at this stage, there is no apparent violation of privacy.
Additionally, Minister Cristiano Zanin denied a request to mandate the installation of a Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) in the Senate to investigate the Master case. The request, filed by Senator Alessandro Vieira, sought to probe alleged connections between ministers and Daniel Vorcaro, but Zanin ruled that the Senate's handling of the request did not yet constitute a proven omission.
