Overview
- A mandado de segurança filed by Curitiba councilor Guilherme Kilter asks the Supreme Court to order the Senate to release entry and exit records after the Senate denied three LAI requests that covered visits from February 2019 to the present.
- The 1ª Vara Federal de Curitiba transferred the case to the STF because the suit challenges an act attributed to the president of the Senate, creating the route that sent the matter to the high court for review.
- Minister Alexandre de Moraes was initially assigned the case but declared himself impeded because the petition names his wife, Viviane Barci de Moraes, and the court reassigned the relatoria by draw.
- On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, Minister Luiz Fux was drawn as the new relator and will now handle the question of whether the Senate lawfully relied on the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados to refuse disclosure.
- The core legal issue before the STF is whether visitor logs are public under the Lei de Acesso à Informação or protected personal data under the LGPD, a ruling that could set precedent on transparency for institutional visitor records and affect figures named in the requests.
