Gilmar Mendes Renews Demand for Full Access to Vorcaro's Cell Phone Data

cbn12 September 2026 at 13:03

Justice Gilmar Mendes issued a new ruling this Saturday (12) reinforcing the request that complete copies of the media extracted from the investigated Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone be made available to all chambers of the justices who will participate in the trial regarding the connection between Vorcaro and Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

According to Gilmar Mendes, this measure will enable a more complete deliberation of all relevant facts, allowing each justice to form their free opinion based on a comprehensive analysis of the evidentiary record. The justice requested that, should the data not be provided by the rapporteur Justice André Mendonça's office, it be urgently requested from the Federal Police.

On Friday (11), after demands from Justice Cristiano Zanin, André Mendonça stated that disclosing the full content extracted from Vorcaro's cell phone could compromise ongoing operations. This justification was presented in response to pressures for the complete content to be shared with all justices of the court.

The case involves the investigation into alleged connections between businessman Daniel Vorcaro and Justice Alexandre de Moraes, and the dispute over access to the seized cell phone's data has become a central point in the trial, with different justices expressing divergent positions on the need for full transparency of the evidence.

Why this matters

The dispute between Supreme Court justices over access to Vorcaro's cell phone data is relevant to Brazilian readers because it involves fundamental issues regarding transparency in judicial proceedings and separation of powers. The decision on what information will be made available to the other justices can directly influence the progress and outcome of the trial investigating alleged relationships between Justice Alexandre de Moraes and businessman Daniel Vorcaro, affecting public trust in judicial institutions.

The American president's position comes in a historical context marked by the 1998 peace agreement, which ended three decades of conflict between nationalists and unionists in Northern Ireland, but left the final status of the region undefined.
