A scandal involving a banker has put Brazil's Supreme Court in crisis. The situation took on political proportions after a court judge, appointed by former President Jair Bolsonaro, made public a classified inquiry.
In the document revealed, one of this judge's colleagues, who had convicted former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, appears in compromising messages. The conversations suggest irregularities in the conduct of judicial proceedings.
The scandal shook the image of the country's highest court and rekindled political tensions between the government and opposition. Opposition parliamentarians are already demanding the opening of an impeachment process against the minister involved in the messages.
