Fachin under pressure, Moraes under scrutiny

oglobo12 September 2026 at 11:00

The Supreme Federal Court will hold an unprecedented session next Tuesday to examine the conduct of one of its justices. The Court will examine suspicions involving the relationship between Alexandre de Moraes and banker Daniel Vorcaro, raised by the inquiry reported by Justice André Mendonça. The investigations are related to the so-called Master case.

Part of the STF justices advocate for the extraordinary session to be held behind closed doors, exerting pressure on Justice Fachin, responsible for conducting the case. However, Fachin believes the trial should be public, diverging from this position.

Throughout the week, Fachin consulted his colleagues on the court, including Justice Cármen Lúcia, and refrained from preempting his decisions on the procedure to be followed. The debate over opening or closing the session remains a central point in the Court's internal discussions.

Why this matters

Readers are directly affected because the STF's decision on how to conduct this analysis could set a precedent for the Court's transparency in cases involving its own members. The dispute between an open or closed session reflects internal institutional tensions within the tribunal, and the outcome could impact the Supreme Court's credibility in public opinion. The case stems from investigations into the so-called "Master case" and involves specific accusations that will be examined by Moraes' own peers.

Indian prime minister calls on BRICS for a roadmap to reform global governance

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called at the BRICS summit in New Delhi for a roadmap to reform global governance, arguing that the current structure functions as a pyramid where power and decision-making are concentrated at the top, while affected countries lack the capacity to influence. Modi outlined three axes for reform — representation, responsiveness, and norm-making — and stressed that the reform of the United Nations Security Council "can no longer be postponed," demanding negotiations with set deadlines. India, which holds the rotating presidency of the bloc, sought to position BRICS as a platform for reforming the international system and not as a confrontation alliance, arguing that the Global South should cease being merely a recipient of norms to participate in their development.
