Fachin decides to become rapporteur of Moraes-Vorcaro case, and also removes from Mendonça processes linked to Master and the INSS scandal

BBC News Brasil13 September 2026 at 01:21

Justice Edson Fachin decided to take on the rapporteurship of the case involving Justice Alexandre de Moraes and businesswoman Ana Luíza Voncaro, removing the responsibility of the case from Justice Cristiano Zanin. The decision was announced by the president of the Supreme Court on Saturday night.

In addition to the Moraes-Vorcaro case, Fachin also removed from Justice André Mendonça processes related to the Master company and the INSS scandal, which had been under Zanin's responsibility.

The change in rapporteurship will be reflected in Tuesday's session, the 15th, which was set to analyze the alleged link between Alexandre de Moraes and the owner of the Master company.

With Fachin's decision, the processes that had been distributed between Zanin and Mendonça will be redistributed, altering the progress of these cases.

Why this matters

Fachin's decision changes the dynamics of the investigation into the relationships between Justice Moraes and businessman Vorcaro, directly affecting one of the most sensitive cases before the Court. For the reader, this changes who will have decision-making power over a case involving accusations of illicit enrichment and connections to organized crime, following a series of controversies about Moraes's conduct that mobilized public debate.
