Pro-Moraes faction at STF accuses Mendonça of political motivation in Vorcaro messages case

oglobo2 September 2026 at 08:00

An internal dispute at the Supreme Federal Court (STF) pits Minister André Mendonça against a group of ministers aligned with Alexandre de Moraes. The controversy involves messages exchanged between Vorcaro and a court colleague, with Mendonça's decisions on the case being questioned by these magistrates.

The ministers who support Moraes have started to defend, behind the scenes, that Mendonça's decisions on the messages would have a political agenda as a backdrop. The accusation arises at a delicate moment, about a month away from the elections.

The case has generated exchanges of accusations between the magistrates, with Moraes's allies contesting Mendonça's actions in the episode. The dispute reflects internal tensions in the Brazilian Supreme Court.
