STF minister cites Lula-Messias appointment in search warrant for deputy Cezinha

Brazil's Supreme Federal Court authorized a search operation against federal deputy Cezinha de Madureira, citing a Federal Police investigation that references President Lula's attempt to appoint Attorney General Jorge Messias to the STF. The PF flagged a message from lawyer Mariângela Fialek to the deputy saying 'You're going to do it again!' alongside news of a meeting with Lula and Messias. This suggests the investigation is probing potential political interference or improper influence in judicial appointments, a sensitive matter for Brazil's political and judicial establishment.
