The institutional crisis rocking Brazil’s highest court deepened on Monday when the President of the Supreme Federal Tribunal (STF), Justice Edson Fachin, abruptly canceled a scheduled meeting with the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB). The meeting, set for Wednesday, was intended to address revelations concerning the relationship between two Supreme Court justices, Alexandre de Moraes and André Mendonça, and disgraced former banker Daniel Vorcaro, who is at the center of a major fraud investigation. Fachin’s decision to postpone the high-level dialogue without setting a new date signals a desire by the court’s leadership to control the institutional fallout during a crucial electoral period.
