Brazil STF Plenary to Decide Investigation of Justice Moraes Amid Internal Crisis
Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) is experiencing an unprecedented institutional crisis, with the plenary scheduled to decide whether to open an investigation into Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Moraes has publicly denied allegations of favoritism and labeled the Federal Police investigation, ordered by Justice André Mendonça, as 'fraud' and 'farce' driven by 'revenge.' The STF will also assess preliminary motions regarding Moraes's potential recusal before addressing the merits of the investigation.
