STF President Fachin Removes Mendonça Investigation from Fake News Inquiry

STF President Edson Fachin ordered the investigation request against Minister André Mendonça, filed by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, to be removed from the 'fake news' inquiry and processed under the Court's Presidency. This procedural move shifts oversight away from Moraes, potentially altering the case's trajectory. The development signals internal judicial friction over the handling of politically sensitive investigations.
