STF Session Marked by Confrontations Between Ministers During Trial on Moraes; See the Exchanges

oglobo15 September 2026 at 17:37

Tuesday's session of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) regarding the case involving Alexandre de Moraes was marked by confrontations between members of the Court. The ministers diverged on the Federal Police's actions, exchanged accusations about the conduct of the investigation, and questioned the change of rapporteurship of the case, creating an environment of intense tension in the court in recent weeks.

In one of the harshest moments of the trial, Minister André Mendonça stated there is a supposed "parallel PF" and said that STF ministers are monitored. Moraes reacted questioning "who is afraid of the Federal Police?" and accused his colleague of having pressured the corporation to include his name in a plea deal.

The session also exposed divergences about Edson Fachin's decision to assume the rapporteurship of the case that was with Mendonça. Ministers Flávio Dino and Gilmar Mendes questioned the change, demonstrating the different positions that have settled in the court.

Why this matters

The conflict exposes an institutional crisis in the country's highest court, with divisions affecting the STF's credibility and the balance between branches of government. The dispute involves serious accusations about monitoring of ministers and interference in investigations, which may have broad political repercussions for the federal government and for the Brazilian judicial institution's own image.
