Overview
- President Edson Fachin ordered the Polícia Federal to explain the custody and storage of Daniel Vorcaro’s seized phone within 24 hours as he centralized competing court orders.
- Minister Cristiano Zanin demanded a full copy of the phone extraction be delivered to his cabinet by 23:00 on Sunday, September 13, after the PF told the court it can produce identical copies for ministers.
- Relator André Mendonça said he holds a sealed backup in his office and argued that releasing the full extraction would 'tumultuate' the trial and risk other investigations.
- Minister Flávio Dino unsealed related 'Dark Horse' materials that cite alleged emenda diversion and possible links to the PCC while forensic teams flagged failed seals on at least 13 seized devices, raising chain-of-custody doubts.
- Fachin scheduled an extraordinary plenary for Tuesday, September 15, to decide whether to authorize an investigation into Moraes and to resolve who may view and control the contested digital evidence.
