Brazil Supreme Court Justice Moraes requests probe into colleague Mendonça in fake news inquiry

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has requested an investigation into fellow Justice André Mendonça, accusing him of 'abuse of authority' in the context of the ongoing fake news inquiry. This marks an unprecedented internal conflict within Brazil's highest court, potentially escalating institutional tensions. The request could lead to a formal probe, but its outcome and broader implications for judicial independence remain uncertain.
