Brazil's Supreme Court has canceled a second consecutive session, signaling a deepening institutional and political crisis. Chief Justice Luiz Edson Fachin announced the cancellation and ordered the court to reconvene on Tuesday, a day when the court typically does not meet. The full court of 10 justices will consider whether Justice Alexandre de Moraes should be investigated for alleged connections to Daniel Vorcaro, the former owner of Banco Master, a bank that collapsed due to fraud allegations. This decision comes amid rising tensions within the judiciary and broader political divisions in the country. The crisis began on September 1 when Justice André Mendonca, a appointee of former President Jair Bolsonaro, released documents from the federal police showing that Vorcaro repeatedly sought legal advice from de Moraes. This revelation intensified the already existing conflict between de Moraes and Mendonca. De Moraes, a conservative judge, gained widespread support from supporters of former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva after he sentenced Bolsonaro to 27 years in prison last year for alleged involvement in an attempted coup. Mendonca, on the other hand, previously served as Bolsonaro’s solicitor-general before joining the Supreme Court. Tensions have further escalated as de Moraes requested an investigation into Mendonca for what he claims is an abuse of power. De Moraes argued that Mendonca conducted an interview with Vorcaro without the presence of police or prosecutors, which he views as a procedural violation. Meanwhile, both current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his political rival, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, are pushing for investigations into Supreme Court justices, with their demands aligning along party lines. This political polarization is further complicating the already delicate situation within the judiciary. The crisis has also reached Brazil’s federal police, as competing decisions from the Supreme Court this week led to the removal and subsequent reinstatement of the director-general of the police. This back-and-forth highlights the growing conflict among the justices and the broader implications for Brazil’s legal and political systems. With key institutions under scrutiny, the situation continues to raise concerns about the stability and independence of Brazil’s judiciary.
