Overview
- Senator Flávio Bolsonaro filed a petition at the Supreme Federal Court asking that Minister Alexandre de Moraes be declared suspect in matters tied to Banco Master and Daniel Vorcaro and that those filings be reassigned to Minister André Mendonça.
- Court and Senate records show Banco Master declared R$80.2 million in payments to Viviane Barci de Moraes, and Federal Police files provided to congressional investigators include November 17, 2025 message exchanges between Moraes and Vorcaro.
- STF President Edson Fachin has recently denied separate recusal requests against Minister Kassio Nunes Marques on the grounds of 'intempestividade,' leaving Nunes Marques as relator of the mandado de segurança over a Senate CPI request.
- Deputy Lindbergh Farias requested an inquiry into Flávio after reporting that Vorcaro directed large payments to finance the film Dark Horse, with some transfers said to have gone to a fund linked to Eduardo Bolsonaro in the United States.
- The contest is now procedural as much as factual because which minister hears Master cases will shape how far probes reach and which political figures face direct judicial scrutiny.
