The Fake News Inquiry was opened in 2019 and remained under the rapporteurship of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court. The inquiry has a long history of controversial decisions over the years.
Recently, Minister Edson Fachin made a decision that transferred the investigation from Moraes's hands, changing the rapporteurship of the case. The change represents a significant alteration in the course of the investigation.
The case is known for involving investigations related to alleged fake news and attacks against members of the STF, generating debates about the limits of the Court's actions and freedom of expression issues. The transfer of the rapporteurship by Fachin's decision marks a new chapter in the progress of the case.
