'Something bizarre': read the passage from Moraes' defense that went viral; the minister's name is among the most discussed topics on social media

The Supreme Federal Court (STF) is about to meet on this Tuesday for an unprecedented session, convened amid the biggest internal crisis faced by the Court in recent years. At the center of the discussion are messages found by the Federal Police (PF) on the cell phone of banker Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, that make reference to Minister Alexandre de Moraes.

It will be up to the plenary to discuss the developments of the messages involving Moraes and decide the next steps of the case. The trial is just a chapter of a broader dispute, as the following week, on the 23rd, the ministers will need to meet again to analyze a request for investigation against André Mendonça.

Given the repercussion of the case, the terms "Xandão" and "Moraes," which refer to Minister Alexandre de Moraes, are among the most discussed topics on X on this Tuesday morning. A passage from the defense that Moraes presented to the president of the STF, Edson Fachin, before today's session, went viral.

Why this matters

This Tuesday's STF session directly affects the Brazilian political and legal landscape, as it involves serious accusations against a Supreme Court minister. Brazilian readers follow the developments of the case closely, which could redefine the internal dynamics of the court and generate broader political consequences, especially with the investigation against André Mendonça scheduled for the following week.
