The Attorney General of Brazil, Paulo Gonet, participates this Tuesday in a trial session about the messages sent by former banker Daniel Vorcaro to Justice Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court. Gonet is mentioned in the messages exchanged between Vorcaro and Moraes.
The session judges a request from the former banker's defense to investigate alleged irregularities in the conduct of the case in which he is investigated. Vorcaro is the target of a confidential inquiry related to a criminal organization that acts against Brazilian democracy.
The messages reveal a close relationship between Vorcaro and Justice Moraes, which raises questions about the impartiality of the trial. The case may result in the opening of a formal investigation against Moraes himself.
Gonet, as head of the Federal Public Ministry, plays a central role in conducting investigations within the Court. His participation in the session occurs at a time of growing pressure on the Supreme Federal Court.
