Justice Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), accused colleague André Mendonça of having demanded that the Federal Police include his name in Vorcaro's plea deal, related to the Master case. During the trial, Moraes directly questioned Mendonça: "Who's afraid of the Federal Police?" and stated that he will present witnesses to support this accusation.
Moraes declared that his colleague "demanded" the inclusion of his name in the plea deal and that there are messages and evidence that will be presented. The justice also criticized Mendonça's posture, suggesting there is an attempt to intimidate the Federal Police investigation.
André Mendonça, who is the rapporteur of the Master case at the STF, responded to the accusations by saying that Moraes was lying. Before this confrontation, Mendonça had made a reference to the "FP" that was cut off in the available excerpt of the article.
The case involves disagreements between the justices over the conduct of the investigations and the treatment given to the messages exchanged between Vorcaro and Moraes. Justice Fachin sent a message to his colleagues about legitimate disagreement versus personal confrontation, attempting to mediate the situation during the trial.
