The Brazilian Supreme Court is going through its biggest institutional crisis. Recent revelations link Supreme Court justices and top figures in Brazilian politics to the downfall of a bank, exposing suspicions of favoritism and collusion between the branches of government.
The scandal involves accusations of promiscuity between political and judicial power, with indications that court members may have favored specific interests in exchange for benefits.
The situation calls into question the independence of Brazil's judicial branch and generates a deep crisis of confidence in the country's institutions.
Investigations continue to reveal new connections between Supreme Court justices and political agents, expanding the scope of a scandal that is already considered the biggest in the court's history.
