Brazil Supreme Court judicial developments

Overview

The Brazilian Supreme Court is managing several high profile legal matters involving judicial conduct and legislative disputes.

In the context of Operation Unha e Carne, which investigates the leaking of confidential information, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes authorized the release of federal judge Macário Júdice. Júdice, who was arrested in December, will instead serve under precautionary measures including the mandatory use of an electronic ankle monitor. The operation has also involved the arrest of former Rio de Janeiro Legislative Assembly president Rodrigo Bacellar.

Concurrently, the court faces scrutiny regarding delays in resolving significant cases. Justice Moraes has held actions regarding the constitutionality of the dosimetria law, which proposes sentence reductions for those convicted in the January 8, 2023, attacks, for 177 days. Additionally, Justice Cármen Lúcia has held a criminal case against Senator Sergio Moro for 170 days. Moro was indicted following allegations that he slandered Justice Gilmar Mendes, though Moro’s defense maintains the comments were made in jest.
