Moraes Case: session begins with Fachin reading Vorcaro messages, and Dino votes after the rapporteur; see the procedure

oglobo14 September 2026 at 20:24

The president of the Supreme Federal Court, Edson Fachin, defined the procedure for Tuesday's trial regarding messages sent by former banker Daniel Vorcaro to Minister Alexandre de Moraes on the eve of the arrest of the former owner of Banco Master. The session will begin with the reading of the report on the case, to be made by the rapporteur, Edson Fachin, who will also make the "delimitation of the object of the trial," the Court indicated.

Next, space will be opened for any statement by the attorney general of Brazil, Paulo Gonet, and for "oral arguments," usually made by the lawyers of the parties. It is not yet known whether a lawyer may speak on behalf of Moraes or if the minister himself will make his defense before his colleagues on the STF.

After these statements, President Edson Fachin, in his capacity as rapporteur, will present his vote, which may include propositions about the case, such as the possible opening of an investigation into Moraes. Subsequently, the other ministers of the STF will vote on the matter.

Why this matters

This trial may result in the opening of a formal investigation into Minister Alexandre de Moraes, a central figure in the Brazilian political and legal landscape. The decision establishes an important precedent on how the STF handles conflict of interest issues involving its own members, directly affecting the credibility and functioning of the country's highest court.

The politicians we have

A study by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation analyzed the profiles of all Portuguese ministers between 1976 and 2025, concluding that Portugal has higher levels of specialization than Spain, Italy, and Greece. The most frequent profile is that of the "political-specialist" (38%), and 31% of ministers are experts — the highest percentage among the four Southern European countries. Although parties continue to dominate appointments, approximately 70% of ministers have higher education and 78% have professional experience related to the portfolio they oversee. The study also found that women tend to require more technical profiles to access Government, and that portfolios such as Foreign Affairs maintain greater party control, while areas such as Energy or Environment welcome more specialists.
