Overview

• Justice Luiz Fux requested a review period and suspended the Supreme Court’s virtual judgment of Senator Sérgio Moro’s appeal with no date set to resume.
• Under court procedure, the pause can last up to 90 days before the case returns for a vote.
• Recorded votes are 4–0 to deny Moro’s bid to overturn his defendant status, with Cármen Lúcia, Alexandre de Moraes, Cristiano Zanin and Flávio Dino in the majority.
• The case is under the relatoria of Justice Cármen Lúcia in the STF’s virtual plenary and stems from a PGR complaint that the 1st Panel accepted unanimously in June 2024.
• The complaint cites a 2022 video in which Moro said it was possible to buy a habeas corpus from Justice Gilmar Mendes, while his lawyer characterizes the remark as an ill-chosen joke followed by a public retraction.
