The Federal Police identified that Minister André Mendonça, from the Supreme Federal Court (STF), ordered investigations against fellow court member Alexandre de Moraes without the proper specific authorization for such actions. The investigation into the case was revealed by the PF itself.
The actions determined by Mendonça without proper authorization caused an institutional crisis within the STF. The case involved internal movements between the supreme court's ministers.
The episode generated significant political and institutional repercussions, putting the court's internal procedures in check. Mendonça's action without the necessary authorization raised questions about the limits and protocols that should govern actions between STF ministers.
