Dino opens new front of doubt about Mendonça's conduct, shortly before the beginning of the session on Moraes

oglobo15 September 2026 at 14:11

Minister Flávio Dino raised new doubts about colleague André Mendonça's conduct in the Master case, which involves a bank business arm in the funeral sector and the São Paulo city government. The decision was signed this morning, shortly before the start of the Supreme Federal Court session that will decide on the opening of an investigation against Minister Alexandre de Moraes.

In the decision, Dino determines that his document be sent to Minister Edson Fachin for addition to the case files that investigate Mendonça's conduct. The minister draws attention to the fact that the case went to the Plenary's reference on March 14, 2025, but the trial was suspended the following day.

The suspension of the trial occurred due to a view request made by André Mendonça, who had received banker Daniel Vorcaro one day before, when Vorcaro had a direct interest in the topic under discussion. Dino also highlights that Fabiano Zettel, Vorcaro's brother-in-law, has ties to the Lagoinha Baptist Church and held a position in the São Paulo city government.

Why this matters

This development matters because it involves potential judicial misconduct at the highest level of Brazil's judiciary, with questions about whether Mendonça acted properly when requesting a view after meeting with a banker whose interests were at stake. The timing so close to the critical session on Moraes creates additional political tension around the STF, which plays a central role in Brazil's institutional balance. Readers in the region need to follow this closely as the outcome could affect ongoing corruption investigations and the credibility of the Supreme Court itself.

STF begins unprecedented trial on Vorcaro's messages to Moraes

The Federal Supreme Court began on Tuesday the historic trial of the investigation into alleged messages exchanged between banker Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, and Minister Alexandre de Moraes on the eve of his first arrest, in November 2025. The case is unprecedented for involving a member of the Court itself and was triggered by a Federal Police report prepared by order of Minister André Mendonça, rapporteur of the investigations related to Banco Master, which ended up generating a succession of decisions, official letters and accusations among members of the court, in addition to involving the Federal Police itself, the PGR and the AGU. The president of the STF, Edson Fachin, ended up taking over the conduct of the case.
