Fachin and Nunes Marques Meet on Eve of Trial Over Messages Between Vorcaro and Moraes

oglobo14 September 2026 at 17:36

The president of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Edson Fachin, and Justice Kassio Nunes Marques met on Monday morning, the day before the trial over messages exchanged between banker Daniel Vorcaro and Justice Alexandre de Moraes. This was at least the second meeting between the two magistrates on the subject.

Kassio Nunes Marques had already met with Fachin during the round of individual conversations that the Court's president held with colleagues to discuss tomorrow's trial. Last Thursday, Fachin also met with Alexandre de Moraes, André Mendonça, Dias Toffoli, Luiz Fux, Cármen Lúcia, and Cristiano Zanin.

Fachin has been using these conversations to hear his colleagues about the procedure to be adopted in the extraordinary session and about the form of conducting the trial. The president of the STF, however, has adopted a listening posture and avoided anticipating his own positions.

In Thursday's meetings, Fachin heard assessments and suggestions from the justices, but did not indicate which path he intends to take in light of the considerations presented.

Why this matters

The trial over messages between Vorcaro and Moraes may have significant impact on the Brazilian political and legal landscape, potentially affecting ongoing investigations and the dynamics between branches of government. Fachin's posture of consulting colleagues before defining the procedure shows the Court's caution in the face of a case of high political relevance. Citizens interested in the functioning of democratic institutions and the progress of investigations against organized crime will closely follow the outcome of this session. WHY: The trial over messages exchanged between Vorcaro and Moraes may directly affect investigations into organized crime and the credibility of Brazilian legal institutions. Fachin's cautious posture in consulting colleagues before defining the procedure indicates the gravity of the case and possible disagreements within the STF over how to conduct the proceedings. Brazilian readers who follow the functioning of the justice system and the fight against corruption will pay special attention to the result of this session.

Why Cármen Lúcia and Fachin should be crucial for Alexandre de Moraes' future at the STF

The vote in the Senate Ethics Committee on Alexandre de Moraes' conduct should highlight the role of Cármen Lúcia and Edson Fachin as potentially decisive allies of the minister at the STF, at a time when the court faces unprecedented political pressures. Although it is common to classify the court into "wings," analysis of the ministers' positions over the past years reveals much greater complexity, with alignments that vary according to the topic and do not follow fixed patterns of division.
