Mendonça exposes evidence against Moraes and becomes isolated in STF

Minister André Mendonça, of Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), withdrew the secrecy of a Federal Police investigation that points to links between Minister Alexandre de Moraes and former banker Daniel Vorcaro. The decision, taken this week in Brasilia, exposed a 218-page report and heightened internal tension in the Court. Mendonça justified the measure as a way to guarantee transparência pública, but faces retaliatory attempts and a scenario of political isolation.

The document analyzes the communications of the former banker Daniel Vorcaro and records that Moraes was one of the interlocutors in the recovered messages. Jurists point out that there are indications that the minister may have received large sums of money to benefit Vorcaro in legal proceedings. The source did not detail the values or the specific cases.

PF report reveals Moraes’s interlocution

The 218-page expert report brings the technical analysis of the messages obtained by the Federal Police. The document confirms that Alexandre de Moraes is among the contacts of Daniel Vorcaro, but does not specify the exact content of the conversations. The full disclosure, according to Mendonça, prevents the content from being known only by partial leaks.

Experts heard by the report assess that the advertising of the material can pressure for formal investigations. However, the source did not detail whether there are open procedures against Moraes in addition to those already mentioned. The decision of Mendonça was seen as a gesture of direct confrontation with the colleague of Corte.

Moraes tries to retaliate with Fake News investigation

After the disclosure, Moraes tried to open an investigation against Mendonça himself using the Fake News investigation. The allegation was that the colleague had extrapolated his functions by reporting cases related to Banco Master and INSS. The maneuver, however, was blocked by the president of STF, Edson Fachin.

Fachin intervened and cancelled Moraes' act, transferring the tutelage of the crisis to himself. The measure was interpreted as an attempt to contain the institutional aggravation. The source did not detail the next steps of the presidency of the Court.

Insulation and institutional shielding

Experts assess that the court’s self-preservation system tends to shield Moraes, leaving Mendonça in a position of vulnerability. Despite popular pressure and right-wing demonstrations trying to give strength to Mendonça, the path to impeachment is politically arduous. There are currently 57 petitions against Moraes caged in the Senate.

The situation puts Mendonça in isolation within the Court, with few declared allies. The source did not detail whether other ministers publicly supported the release of the report. The climate in STF is described as tense, with meetings reserved to discuss the crisis.

Repercussions and next steps

The decision of Mendonça immediately resonated on social networks and among parliamentarians. Right-wing groups have begun to charge the progress of impeachment requests against Moraes. However, the source did not detail whether the Senate intends to rule on any of these requests.
