Brazil's Supreme Court decides this Thursday whether to open an investigation against Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The case represents a new chapter in the dispute between judges of the court.
Moraes is accused of maintaining a close relationship with businessman Daniel Vorcaro. The accusation suggests that the minister helped the banker during the period when he was being investigated by the Federal Police.
Vorcaro is imprisoned under accusation of fraud. The circumstances of the relationship between him and Moraes are at the center of the controversy that reached the Supreme Court.
The decision on whether the investigation will be opened depends on the other ministers of the court, who analyze the arguments presented in the case.
