Alexandre de Moraes involved in controversy with detained banker. "There is a war of versions"

CNN Portugal3 September 2026 at 19:50

The CNN Portugal correspondent in Brazil, Nelson Garrone, analyses a case involving Supreme Federal Court judge Alexandre de Moraes, who conducted the trial against former President Jair Bolsonaro, and a banker who was detained.

The case has generated a "war of versions", meaning there are contradictory accounts of the facts involving Alexandre de Moraes and the detained banker, which has fueled the controversy.

Alexandre de Moraes is a central figure in the case against Bolsonaro, having acted as the presiding judge in the trial that resulted in the former President's ineligibility for eight years, based on the Abuse of Power Law.

Nelson Garrone's analysis seeks to clarify the contours of this situation, trying to understand what really happened in the relationship between the Supreme Federal Court judge and the banker who is now detained.
