After the PGR requested the nullification of the investigation against STF Justice Alexandre de Moraes, Justice André Mendonça, the rapporteur of the case, will forward the request to the full STF for analysis. In the filing, Attorney General Paulo Gonet requests the annulment of the investigation order against Moraes and the evidence obtained, as well as the dismissal of the petition in the case. According to Gonet, the determination for the investigation occurred without a request from the Public Ministry or initiative from the Federal Police, exceeding the limits of judicial action in the pre-prosecutorial phase. Gonet also argues that Mendonça should have referred the matter to the chief justice of the STF, Justice Édson Fachin, so that the full court could assess the need to open an investigation. Prior to the PGR's filing, Mendonça had already stated he would bring the case to the full court. The justice 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. A potential investigation against an STF justice should first be analyzed by the chief justice of the Court, according to the court's internal rules.
