Minister Flávio Dino, during a hearing at the Supreme Federal Court, declared that Brazil is experiencing the "most corrupt moment in the history of the Judiciary." The statement was made during a session that analyzed whether Minister Alexandre de Moraes should be investigated due to relationships involving the Master case. Dino stated that he has never seen so many corruption cases since becoming a judge in 1994, and that the situation "only keeps increasing in Brazil."
Dino also commented on the alleged sale of sentences, saying that "there is no sale of sentences without a lawyer charging." The minister reinforced his criticism of corruption in the Brazilian judicial system during his statement in court.
The minister also joined Gilmar Mendes's criticisms and attacked Edson Fachin's decision to avocate petitions that were under the rapporteurship of André Mendonça. Dino stated that "in no court can a president remove a rapporteur," arguing that all ministers are equal and must follow the same procedural rules.
Finally, Dino concluded his speech by saying that "this is not a place for those seeking popularity," although he classified Fachin as a "good man," acknowledging that his colleague erred in conducting the process.
