Fachin withdraws request for investigation against Mendonça from fake news inquiry and determines that the minister and Gonet should respond

extra4 September 2026 at 16:10

The president of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Edson Fachin, decided to withdraw the request for investigation made by Minister Alexandre de Moraes against André Mendonça from the fake news inquiry. The decision was made on Friday.

Fachin also determined that the attorney general of Brazil, Paulo Gonet, and Minister André Mendonça should respond regarding the reports made public by Alexandre de Moraes on Thursday. The reports are intelligence reports from the Federal Police (PF).

Moraes sent to Fachin PF reports that point to alleged irregularities committed by Mendonça in conducting the Compliance Zero and Sem Desconto investigations, which investigate fraud in the financial system and illegal diversion of retirements. In the decision, Moraes states there are strong indications of criminal conduct by Mendonça.

The success of the far-right leader shakes Australia

Pauline Hanson, leader of the Australian far right and founder of the One Nation party, threatens to break the bipartisanship that has prevailed in Australian democracy. At 73 years old and an admirer of Donald Trump, Hanson is preparing for a major electoral leap in the federal elections scheduled for 2028, with polls giving her 30% voting intention, above the Labor Party (in government) and the Coalition (liberals and conservatives), the main traditional forces. It is the first time that a third party surpasses traditional Australian parties in opinion polls.
