Brazil candidate Zema attacks STF, urges probes into Moraes, Toffoli

Presidential candidate Romeu Zema escalated rhetoric against Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF), calling its members 'rotten fruits' and calling for investigations into justices Moraes and Toffoli, with Gilmar Mendes also mentioned. This marks a sharp escalation in political attacks on judicial institutions ahead of the 2026 election, raising concerns over institutional stability. The claim is unverified and reflects campaign rhetoric rather than confirmed judicial misconduct.
