Disciplinary proceedings against Minister Marco Buzzi

Overview

The Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) voted 24 to 4 to apply the penalty of availability to Minister Marco Buzzi, including a proposal for the permanent loss of his judicial office. This disciplinary action follows allegations of sexual harassment and importuning involving two women.

The ruling reflects a shift in Brazilian judicial accountability, utilizing new National Council of Justice (CNJ) guidelines that allow for the total removal of a magistrate rather than the traditional practice of compulsory retirement. The final loss of office is subject to an action by the Attorney General's Office (AGU) to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) within a 30-day period. Buzzi has been removed from his functions since February 2026, though his defense has denied all accusations of illicit conduct.
