Moraes' response to Mendonça was quick, but there are others he should give soon

Justice Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court, responded quickly to the Federal Police inquiry that was made public on Tuesday by determination of Justice André Mendonça. The response came in characteristic Moraes style, who doubled down by taking the initiative to ask for an investigation to be opened against Mendonça himself. Moraes requested Justice Edson Fachin to institute an investigative procedure against André Mendonça. The conflict between the two STF justices escalated after Mendonça's decision to make public a PF investigation involving Moraes, which had been under seal until then. The exchange of measures between the justices reveals the intensification of the internal battle at the supreme court, with each responding to the other's actions through formal investigative procedures.
