Brazilian Supreme Court tries to clean up the stains left by the biggest financial crime in history

Expresso15 September 2026 at 06:30

Brazil's Supreme Federal Court is trying to resolve pending issues related to the biggest financial crime in the country's history. The court seeks to erase the marks left by this case that had a major impact on Brazil's financial and political landscape.

This subject was discussed in an episode of the Expresso da Manhã programme. The correspondent for Expresso in São Paulo, Maria da Paz Tréfaut, was the guest to debate the topic, bringing her analysis on the Supreme Court's attempts to deal with the consequences of this financial crime.

Why this matters

Readers in the region closely follow the legal developments that continue to affect the Brazilian political class. This process is relevant because it may define the future of dozens of pending court cases and influence public perception of justice in the country. The attempt to "clean up the stains" reflects efforts to close a chapter of institutional instability that marked the last decade.

Independence: Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland Test London's Patience

The leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland met this Monday in Cardiff to sign a historic memorandum demanding joint referendums on independence from the United Kingdom — an unprecedented initiative that represents the greatest threat to British territorial integrity since 1922. John Swinney, Rhun ap Iorwerth and Michelle O'Neill signed the document on behalf of their respective independence parties, but met as party leaders and not as prime ministers, to avoid institutional confrontation with London. The pressure comes following Brexit, which the three territories approved in lower proportion than the British average, and includes the possibility of jointly requesting accession to the European Union. Prime Minister Andy Burnham reiterated the Labour government's opposition to referendums, stating that the executive prefers to focus on the economy rather than on "constitutional debates".
