The trial that could open the way for an investigation involving Minister Alexandre de Moraes at the Supreme Federal Court, scheduled for this Tuesday, could end without a definitive decision from the plenary. The rapporteur of the case, Court President Edson Fachin, will lead the analysis, but any of the other ministers could request a view and interrupt the trial to examine the case with more time.
Under the Supreme's current rules, the view request can suspend the conclusion of the trial for up to 90 consecutive days. Once this deadline ends, the case is automatically released to have its analysis resumed in a plenary session, even if the minister who requested more time has not yet presented their vote. The count begins from the publication of the minutes of the session in which the interruption occurred.
A possible interruption could also, in practice, alter the sequence defined by Fachin for the Supreme to address the two cases involving Moraes and André Mendonça.
