"It's very complex to finish today," says Gilmar Mendes about the trial of the investigation into Moraes at the STF

oglobo15 September 2026 at 14:00

The dean of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Gilmar Mendes, told CNN that he does not believe in a quick conclusion of the trial that will determine whether an investigation will be opened regarding colleague Alexandre de Moraes. According to him, the issue to be addressed by the ministers is "too complex to finish today."

The session began with Minister Edson Fachin's reading of Luciano Vorcaro's messages, and Minister Flavio Dino voted after the rapporteur.

According to CNN, Gilmar Mendes advocates behind the scenes for a debate on the way Minister André Mendonça conducted the investigation against Alexandre de Moraes.

The ministers Flavio Dino and Cristiano Zanin hold the same views, pointing out that Mendonça committed illegalities motivated by electoral proximity, since the damage to Moraes — rapporteur of the coup plot case that led to Jair Bolsonaro's conviction — tends to harm presidential ambitions.

Why this matters

The STF's decision on whether Moraes will be investigated can directly affect the country's political stability, since the case involves Operation Non Gaudere, Bolsonaro's conviction, and internal rivalries among the court's ministers. Readers are closely following the developments due to their potential impact on confidence in democratic institutions and the future of judicial actions related to the electoral period.
