A dispute between Supreme Federal Court ministers Alexandre de Moraes and André Mendonça has become one of the court's most serious institutional crises, according to the article.
Mendonça, the rapporteur for an investigation into Banco Master, removed the confidentiality classification from a Federal Police report. The document contained exchanges between Daniel Vorcaro and a telephone number attributed to Moraes.
The case generated intense public repercussions. Moraes then asked Edson Fachin, within the fake news inquiry, to investigate Mendonça for abuse of authority, a crime of responsibility and administrative misconduct.
The dispute has also damaged Moraes's standing in the digital environment. A report by Palver found that, by Friday, July 4, more than 80% of mentions of the justice were negative.
