Federal Police Investigator Fábio Shor Joins Moraes' STF Cabinet as Adviser

The move places a coup‑probe lead from the Federal Police inside the minister’s office, drawing renewed pushback from Bolsonaro allies.

Overview

  • STF president Edson Fachin signed the appointment, which was published in the March 10 Diário Oficial da União after Moraes requested Shor’s transfer.
  • Shor will hold a CJ-3 adviser post in Moraes’ cabinet, with specific duties not publicly detailed by the court.
  • Outlets report he is expected to provide technical support on criminal cases under Moraes’ relatoria, though the court has not confirmed his exact remit.
  • As a PF counterintelligence specialist, Shor led inquiries into the 2022 alleged coup plot and the January 8 cases that supported PGR filings and Bolsonaro’s subsequent conviction.
  • His portfolio also included probes on Bolsonaro’s vaccine-card fraud, the Saudi jewels case, and actions involving ex‑aide Filipe Martins, drawing sustained criticism from Bolsonaro allies and disputes from defense counsel.
