An embarrassing error. A bluff. And a Portuguese person removed at the IMF

Observador10 September 2026 at 09:01

The Judicial Police provided incorrect information to Justice Minister Francisca Van Dunem regarding the budget planned for the destruction of barrels related to the Tancos case, which was considered an embarrassing error.

The article notes that the Portuguese government had already had, for several months, budgetary margin to proceed with tax reductions, being aware of this possibility before publicly communicating it.

New iPhone models are also mentioned, suggesting a reference to a recent technological launch.

Finally, the text alludes to a Portuguese person removed at the IMF, indicating that a Portuguese figure was removed or separated from their duties at the International Monetary Fund.

STF decides next week whether to investigate Minister Moraes over messages with Vorcaro

The Supreme Federal Court scheduled an extraordinary session for Tuesday (15) to decide whether to open an investigation against Minister Alexandre de Moraes due to messages exchanged with banker Daniel Vorcaro. The Court president took several measures to contain the internal crisis, including removing Moraes from the fake news inquiry rapporteurship, blocking opposing decisions by Ministers André Mendonça and Flávio Dino, and maintaining Andrei Rodrigues as head of the Federal Police. The court will analyze the validity of the PF report and the Attorney General's office statement, which considered the document null. With Barroso's retirement still without a replacement, the STF operates with ten ministers, and legal scholars recommend that the magistrates directly involved abstain from the judgment.
