Minister André Mendonça, of the Supreme Federal Court, released on Sunday (6) for judgment in the Court's plenary the Federal Police report that points to an alleged relationship between Minister Alexandre de Moraes and businessman Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master. The document had been prepared by the PF and dealt with investigations involving the company and authorities of the Brazilian judiciary.
It now falls to the President of the STF, Minister Edson Fachin, to decide when the case will be analyzed by the plenary and whether the session will be open or closed to the public. The tendency, according to the article, is that Fachin will await the statements of those involved before making this decision on the judgment schedule.
On Thursday (3), Fachin had given a five-day deadline for André Mendonça, Alexandre de Moraes, the Attorney General of the Republic Paulo Gonet, and the Director-General of the Federal Police Andrei Rodrigues to provide information about the events that led to the current crisis at the Supreme Court.
In the previous week, Mendonça had lifted the secrecy of the Federal Police report and forwarded the document to the Presidency of the STF and the Attorney General's Office, initiating the process that will now be submitted to judgment in the Court's plenary.
