Alcolumbre dodges commenting on messages from Vorcaro to Moraes: 'I shouldn't have an opinion'

oglobo2 September 2026 at 01:01

Senate President Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil-AP) dodged commenting on Tuesday the messages exchanged between banker Daniel Vorcaro and Justice Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), stating that he "shouldn't have an opinion" about the episode.

The messages were located by the Federal Police on Vorcaro's phone and are part of a report produced within the scope of the investigation into Banco Master, made public by decision of the case rapporteur at the Court, André Mendonça.

The document brings together a series of contacts between the banker and the justice, in which Vorcaro made requests and sought information amid the advancement of investigations and the crisis faced by the financial institution.

One of the revelations in the report is that Moraes reviewed a contract of 131 million reais related to the case.

What happens after the PGR requests nullification of the investigation against Moraes?

The PGR requested the nullification of the investigation opened by the STF against Justice Alexandre de Moraes, arguing that the investigation order was determined without a request from the Public Ministry or initiative from the Federal Police, exceeding the limits of judicial action in the pre-prosecutorial phase. Attorney General Paulo Gonet also advocates for the annulment of the evidence obtained and the dismissal of the petition in the case. Justice André Mendonça will forward the request to the full STF for analysis, after having already stated he would bring the matter to the other justices. Mendonça stated that the facts presented by the Federal Police need to be examined in a technical and legal manner, in a public and in-person session.
