Brazil Top Court Justice Orders Bank to Disregard Lower Court Rulings in Master Case

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Toffoli ordered Banco Central do Brasil to ignore decisions from other judicial instances regarding the 'Master' case, as revealed in a PF report unsealed on September 5, 2026. The order raises concerns about judicial hierarchy and potential overreach, though its full context and implications remain unclear.
