Overview
- On Sunday, Sept. 6, Minister André Mendonça released a Polícia Federal intelligence dossier with messages from Daniel Vorcaro that reference Minister Alexandre de Moraes and routed the matter to the Supreme Court plenary for a decision.
- STF President Edson Fachin set deadlines for written responses from Mendonça, Moraes, the PGR and the PF director and must next decide whether the case will be heard in public plenary, in a closed session, or resolved by another procedural route.
- The Polícia Federal told the court its six intelligence reports were produced quickly, cover a limited 72‑hour window, include single‑view WhatsApp messages and have no probative value, raising questions about admissibility and proof.
- The Procuradoria‑Geral da República asked the court to annul part of Mendonça’s order on the grounds that he lacked competence to direct PF diligences on a minister, while Moraes has sought probes into Mendonça and had that request folded into the consolidated procedure.
- Political actors are pressing the court publicly for votes and staging demonstrations, and reports say Planalto and senior justices are negotiating to delay any final move until after the election, a step that could shape who controls key STF cases.
