A wing of the Supreme Federal Court advocated to the president of the Court, Edson Fachin, that the extraordinary session scheduled for next Tuesday, the 15th, be held behind closed doors to analyze the developments in the case involving Justice Alexandre de Moraes and banker Daniel Vorcaro. The defense of a closed session comes from justices close to Moraes and was presented to Fachin during the consultations he has been conducting with members of the Court.
Fachin, however, is in favor of holding an open trial and may announce still this Friday the procedure that will be adopted by the plenary. Interlocutors say that, despite the pressure for a closed session, the president of the Supreme Court considers that the trial should be public. The final definition of the format has not yet been announced.
The president of the STF spent the last few days hearing individually from his colleagues precisely about the rite and the conduct of the extraordinary session. On Thursday, Justices Alexandre de Moraes, André Mendonça, and Dias Toffoli met with Fachin.
