STF President Fachin assumes control of Moraes and Vorcaro investigations FAST-MOVING

Supreme Federal Court (STF) President Edson Fachin has taken control of several high-profile investigations following a period of institutional tension. Fachin assumed the rapporteurship of the case involving alleged communications between Minister Alexandre de Moraes and former banker Daniel Vorcaro. Additionally, Fachin transferred investigations concerning Banco Master and INSS fraud from Minister André Mendonça to the STF Presidency.

The move follows a decision by Fachin to suspend all procedures investigating members of the Court, requiring such cases to be handled by the Presidency to protect judicial prerogatives. This follows a conflict where Mendonça had released certain documents related to the Vorcaro investigation, leading to internal disputes.

In a related development, Fachin ordered the Federal Police to provide a report within 24 hours regarding the custody and condition of the data extracted from Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone. This order responds to requests from several ministers, including Cristiano Zanin and Gilmar Mendes, who seek full access to the digital evidence. The Prosecutor General's Office (PGR) has also urged that all ministers have complete access to the data before the plenary session scheduled for September 15, which will decide whether to open a formal investigation into Moraes.

A separate session to analyze the investigation request against André Mendonça is scheduled for September 23.
