Flavio's defense asked four times to transfer Dark Horse investigations from Dino to Mendonca

Portal O Dia12 September 2026 at 16:45

Flavio's defense filed four requests to transfer the investigations related to the case known as Dark Horse from Supreme Court Justice Flavio Dino to Justice Andre Mendonca. The requests were filed between July 3 and 29 of this year.

The transfer was requested by Flavio's defense from the Supreme Court. The Dark Horse case involves an investigation that was under Dino's assignment and is now being analyzed by Mendonca.

The four requests were made between July 3 and 29, demonstrating the defense's insistence on removing the case from Dino's assignment. The procedural progress indicates that the defense sought alternatives within the court itself to change the case's handling.

The Dark Horse case remains under review at the Supreme Court, now under Mendonca's assignment following Flavio's defense requests.

Why this matters

The transfer of case assignment could directly affect the progress of Flavio Bolsonaro's case at the STF, potentially altering how the investigations are conducted. Readers following this political-judicial case need to know that the defense has been persistently trying to change the natural judge of the case, which may indicate procedural strategies or expectations of different treatment from the new justice.
