Brazil’s top court weighs a probe against the judge who sent former President Bolsonaro to prison
Justices are weighing whether to open a probe after federal police alleged de Moraes advised banker Daniel Vorcaro and his wife’s firm held a $24 million contract.
- On Tuesday, Brazil's Supreme Court began an unprecedented session to decide whether to investigate Justice Alexandre de Moraes over allegations he advised a banker accused of leading a multibillion-dollar fraud scheme.
- Fellow Justice Andre Mendonca released a federal police report two weeks ago alleging that Daniel Vorcaro, owner of the failed Banco Master, sent text messages to Moraes seeking help regarding a fraud investigation.
- Court records reveal a law firm owned by the wife of Moraes held a $24 million consulting contract with Banco Master, which the central bank liquidated in November 2025.
- Early Tuesday, Moraes asked Chief Justice Luiz Edson Fachin to annul the proceedings, claiming they were "deliberately steered" by Mendonca to frame him, while two justices refused to vote on the matter.
- The crisis has intensified the October election campaign, as right-wing candidate Senator Flavio Bolsonaro seeks to link the court's turmoil to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's governing coalition.
