Fachin Removes Moraes–Mendonça Fight From Fake‑News Inquiry and Orders Five‑Day Replies

The president of the Supreme Court centralized the dispute to allow quick PGR and ministerial responses and to open a separate record testing whether a PF report links Alexandre de Moraes to banker Daniel Vorcaro or whether André Mendonça overstepped in Master and INSS probes.

Proximidade entre Lula e Moraes é evidenciada por diversos fatos recentes.

Overview

  • On Tuesday, André Mendonça lifted secrecy on a Polícia Federal intelligence report that includes recovered messages from banker Daniel Vorcaro to a contact attributed to Minister Alexandre de Moraes, prompting public scrutiny of their relationship.
  • Alexandre de Moraes filed formal accusations against Mendonça, alleging improbity, abuse of authority and improper direction of major investigations, and used PF materials to support claims about chain‑of‑custody and investigatory control.
  • On Friday, STF President Edson Fachin withdrew Moraes’s accusations from the fake‑news inquérito, created a separate petition under his relatoria, and gave the PGR, Mendonça and Moraes five days to submit written responses.
  • Federal Police documents say Vorcaro sought to ‘reinforce’ contacts at the PF and the PGR to protect Banco Master, while PF agents flagged procedural flaws in Mendonça’s handling of evidence such as concentration of sensitive files and limits on technical delegate review.
  • Political and civic pressure has grown: the party Novo asked the MP council to name a subprocurador to act where PGR Paulo Gonet may be impeded, Transparência Internacional and some politicians demanded Moraes’s temporary removal, and President Lula called for steps to safeguard investigation integrity; the case may go to the full court after elections.
