Allies of Alexandre de Moraes foresee an intense confrontation in the plenary session of the Supreme Federal Court that may result in the opening of an investigation against the minister for his personal connections with the owner of Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro. The session is described as a possible "horror show" by the minister's supporters.
The episode dragged the Court to the epicenter of the country's largest financial fraud scandal. The investigation involves alleged ties between Moraes and Vorcaro, placing the tribunal at the center of a controversy that goes beyond traditional legal issues.
The case triggered an unprecedented internal war at the STF. The dispute among the ministers generated tensions that threaten the harmony of the institution and put the leadership of the court's president, Edson Fachin, in check.
As a result, the Supreme Court is going through the biggest institutional crisis in its history. The combination of financial scandal, internal conflicts, and questions about the conduct of one of its members profoundly affects the credibility of the Court.
