Some points of Alexandre de Moraes's defense

oglobo15 September 2026 at 14:15

Minister Alexandre de Moraes reaffirmed his defensive position regarding a document considered illegal, stating that he is being unjustly held responsible for messages from third parties. According to his defense, the document is illegal because the investigation was conducted by the Federal Police on the judge's orders, which violates the principle that the judge should not conduct investigations.

André Mendonça, a central figure in the case, did not previously hear the Attorney General's Office or the full court before making his decisions. Furthermore, he failed to point out a specific "act of office" committed by Moraes that could have benefited Daniel Vorcaro, which weakens the argument against the minister.
