There is no longer a place on the Supreme Federal Court (STF) for Alexandre de Moraes. If the justice does not resign, it will be up to the Senate, through impeachment proceedings, to rid the court of this burden.
The limits of tolerance for the improper relationship between the justice and mafia figure Daniel Vorcaro (former banker and owner of Banco Master) had already been tested by what was known before the latest revelations. The R$131 million ($25.4 million) contract between Banco Master and Moraes’s wife’s law firm, along with the communications with the justice on the eve of the delinquent’s arrest, in a format that erases what was said, left little doubt about the seriousness of the relationship.The torrent of abhorrent revelations that has just come before the public buries any remaining uncertainty about Moraes’s incompatibility with serving as a justice on the STF. While the fraudster enriched the Moraes family with stolen money, he treated the justice as an adviser and an informant.
In the police report investigating the case, the justice appears as the editor of the multimillion-real contract with his wife’s law firm, which negotiated another agreement, this one worth R$50 million, with another company owned by Vorcaro.
