STF Case Management Limbo Delays Master Bank and INSS Fraud Investigations

Investigations into Master Bank and INSS frauds are stalled in a procedural limbo at Brazil's Supreme Federal Court after President Edson Fachin assumed oversight, with lawyers reporting difficulty in accessing the rapporteur. Emails show conflicting instructions between Fachin's and Mendonça's offices, creating uncertainty about case progression. This administrative friction delays accountability in high-profile financial fraud cases, potentially affecting market confidence in judicial efficiency.
