Brazil's Supreme Court president attempted Wednesday to end a crisis in the court by suspending a series of conflicting rulings by rival judges that have dominated a bitter election campaign. The court is reeling from a scandal involving the alleged links between leading Justice Alexandre de Moraes and a disgraced banker charged with massive fraud. The case has descended into open warfare between Moraes, who famously led the coup investigation into far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro, and fellow Justice Andre Mendonca, a Bolsonaro appointee. On Tuesday, the country's top policeman, Andrei Rodrigues, got swept up in the infighting, when he was suspended by Mendonca, who accused the police of spying on him. A day later a third justice, Flavio Dino, a former minister under incumbent president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, reinstated the head of the federal police. The court's president Edson Fachin promptly waded into the dispute and suspended both rulings, according to a ruling seen by AFP. Fachin gave Rodrigues 48 hours to provide information before deciding his fate. The eruption in the court has overshadowed the run-up to next month's presidential election, in which Bolsonaro's senator son, Flavio Bolsonaro, is trying to unseat left-wing Lula. Mendonca fired the opening salvo in the row by ordering the publication last week of text messages from banker Daniel Vorcaro to Moraes, asking for information about the case against him. Moraes hit back, accusing Mendonca of abuse of power on the basis of confidential police intelligence reports, whereupon Mendonca suspended Rodrigues.
