Read and listen in full to Fachin's speech opening trial at STF deciding whether Moraes will be investigated

cbn15 September 2026 at 15:19

STF President Minister Edson Fachin opened on Tuesday the trial that analyzes whether Minister Alexandre de Moraes should be investigated regarding his relationships with Daniel Vorcaro, banker at Banco Master. Fachin stated that the analysis will not be based on people, in reference to Moraes, but on the facts and data presented in the case.

The Federal Police indicate that Vorcaro met with Moraes eight times and asked the minister for help to halt actions against the bank. On November 15, 2025, two days before his arrest, the owner of Banco Master consulted the minister asking whether he should stay away until Monday.

The report also cites the minister's involvement in analyzing a 130 million reais contract between Banco Master and the law firm of his wife, Viviane Barci de Moraes.

Minister Alexandre de Moraes denies that he favored Daniel Vorcaro or Banco Master and says that André Mendonça's decision is unconstitutional and illegal. The statement was sent to the prison.
