Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), is being accused of including André Mendonça in the Fake News investigation in a manner considered absurd by the article's author. The measure would have been taken to create confusion, according to the piece, since Moraes was trying to recover ground after criticisms. The article maintains that Moraes used a document from the Federal Police without evidentiary value to attack Mendonça.
The article questions how Moraes obtained access to the Federal Police report, pointing out that Mendonça has justification for such access as the rapporteur of the Master case at the STF. The article states that Moraes did exactly what he accused Mendonça of having done, characterizing the attitude as desperate.
The president of the STF, Edson Fachin, took the lead by withdrawing the request related to the Fake News investigation. The article interprets this decision as demonstration of improper use of the process, which had been used for years to persecute people and now serves for defense.
The author concludes that Fachin should close the process, since he assumed the case and is conducting the situation. The article suggests that Moraes is without options and uses all available tools to try to defend himself against the accusations.
