The evangelical Supreme Court justice shaping Brazil’s election
The dispute over leaked messages and police rulings has deepened fears of an institutional breakdown as justices trade accusations and campaign politics intensify.
- A weeklong dispute between Supreme Court Justices Andre Mendonca and Alexandre de Moraes has plunged Brazil's judiciary into an unprecedented crisis, disrupting court operations Wednesday ahead of the October 4 election.
- Mendonca triggered the standoff September 1 by releasing messages from banker Daniel Vorcaro, alleging Moraes sought information regarding a 131 million reais contract involving his wife's law firm.
- Justice Flavio Dino reversed Mendonca's Tuesday suspension of Federal Police Chief Andrei Rodrigues, accusing the justice of acting in a case where he held a personal interest.
- During a rally in Sao Paulo on Monday, presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro linked President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to Moraes, merging the judiciary's internal struggle with the campaign.
- Chief Justice Edson Fachin has given both justices until Friday to respond to accusations, seeking to contain institutional breakdown while the full court prepares to weigh in on the report.
