Master Bank Fraud Scandal Implicates Judge Moraes, Pressures Lula

Leaked messages allegedly from Master Bank's former owner show he consulted a number attributed to Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes about leaving Brazil before his November 2025 arrest. The claim is unverified and the source is a Peruvian outlet, but if true it would implicate a top Brazilian judge in a major financial fraud, escalating political pressure on President Lula.
