Alexandre de Moraes' situation is very delicate

oglobo1 September 2026 at 21:40

Justice Alexandre de Moraes' involvement with Banco Master and businessman Daniel Vorcaro is becoming increasingly evident, and he can no longer claim ignorance about the case. The situation is considered very delicate, especially because Vorcaro asked Moraes for protection for the Attorney General of Brazil, Paulo Gonet, just days before being arrested.

According to the report, the justice should have been more cautious and should not have allowed his wife to enter into a contract that involved a case being tried at the Supreme Federal Court. The fact that he gave his endorsement to the agreement further worsens his position.

If Justice André Mendonça includes Alexandre de Moraes in the investigation into Banco Master, a high-level political crisis could occur at the Supreme Court. Some justices are expected to rebel against this inclusion, while others are expected to support it.

The report highlights that justices should be investigated and are not exempt from being targets of investigations. Alexandre de Moraes' situation is considered very difficult to defend, given the facts presented.
