Fake News Inquiry: the timeline of the investigation that left Moraes's hands by Fachin's decision

BBC News Brasil10 September 2026 at 20:44

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.

Porto considers it "fair" that the State financially helps future works in health centers

The Porto City Council considers it "fair" that the State co-finances future rehabilitation works in the municipality's health centers. The council had already identified, in 2024, several health centers whose rehabilitation could apply to the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), but ended up dropping some applications due to the too short deadlines imposed by the program. The mayor, Rui Moreira, defended the need for state support for these interventions, highlighting that the municipality cannot bear alone all the costs of requalifying health infrastructures.
