The president of the Supreme Federal Court, Edson Fachin, determined on Thursday night the dropping of secrecy of the Master case. The decision was made to transfer the process to Minister André Mendonça, who will now be the rapporteur of the case. This transfer represents a change in the conduct of the process within the highest court of the Brazilian judiciary. The Master case, which involved matters under secrecy, had its information revealed to the public with this determination by Fachin. André Mendonça, as the new rapporteur, will be responsible for analyzing and deciding the next steps of the process in the Supreme Federal Court.
