— Isaiah 43:13, King James Version
NO ONE!
When God acts, no economic influence, human authority, public office or power structure can hinder the fulfillment of His Justice.
But trusting in Divine Justice does not authorize vengeance, violence, intimidation, slander, persecution or premature condemnation.
Those who truly trust in God must defend the truth, due legal process, the protection of the innocent and the accountability of the guilty only when the facts are duly proven.

LAST-MINUTE UPDATE:
WHAT CHANGED ON SEPTEMBER 14
Until the conclusion of this update, the extraordinary session of the Supreme Federal Court (STF — Supremo Tribunal Federal) on Petition 16.662 remains scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at 10 a.m., Brasília time.
The STF confirmed that the session will be broadcast live by TV Justiça and on the internet.
The rite was disclosed and establishes that, after the opening and reading of the previous minutes, president Edson Fachin will give the customary greetings and call the case for judgment.
Then, he will pass the word to minister André Mendonça, original rapporteur of the Master Case, who will read the report and delimit the object of the judgment.
The Attorney General's Office (PGR — Procuradoria-Geral da República) may speak; there will be space for oral arguments; and then the voting will begin. Fachin will present his vote and will be the first to vote. The STF has not yet confirmed which ministers will participate in all stages and vote.

Eleven relevant updates
1. André Mendonça lifted the secrecy of another procedure on the payment network attributed to Daniel Vorcaro.
The PGR supported lifting the secrecy of Petition 15.645 and reported that it had not previously included it in its list because it was unaware of its existence and the procedure did not appear visible in the STF system.
However, reports indicate that part of the data and more than 30 bank and tax secrecy-breaking procedures remain under seal. Therefore, there was an expansion of public access, but not full transparency of the entire collection.
2. Reports based on Federal Police (PF — Polícia Federal) material revealed messages in which members of the group investigated as "A Turma" allegedly sought dialogue with the PCC to provide protection to Vorcaro during his imprisonment.
A transfer of R$ 10,000** appeared in the context of this articulation. **The money was sent by Manoel Mendes Rodrigues (Manolo), a member of "A Turma", to lawyer André Luís Chagas Bergeralck**, after the two discussed a way to warn the banker that there was a "force behind" capable of helping him.
The report **does not attribute a specific purpose to the R$ 10,000 and there is no indication that the money was transferred to the PCC or that the banker himself ordered the transfer. The transfer occurred on November 28, 2025. This is serious and requires investigation, but it does not prove, in isolation, that Vorcaro was a member of the PCC.
3. A new manifesto, signed by jurists, professors and civil society representatives, called for the full lifting of relevant seals, respect for constitutional competences, collegiality and institutional cooperation.
4. The STF disclosed the rite, but left some important questions unanswered publicly, including the participation of ministers potentially impeded or directly affected by the outcome.
5. A Folha de S.Paulo report recorded that magistrates from different internal groups see the session as a possible negative milestone for the Court's credibility, whatever the outcome. This is an assessment attributed to sources heard by the newspaper, and not an official position of the STF.
6. The Federal Police carried out an operation against federal deputy Cezinha de Madureira and other people to investigate an alleged structure for the commercialization of influence in superior courts. The deputy denies irregularities. The investigation itself clarifies that the ministers mentioned in the dialogues are not being investigated in this procedure and that, as far as has been disclosed, no illicit practice is attributed to them.
7. The investigation reached the work of lawyers and fee contracts associated with cases in superior courts. Professional activity, presentation of memoranda, meetings with magistrates and contingency fees are lawful activities; what is under investigation is the suspicion that personal influence or institutional access were offered as merchandise.
8. The OAB/DF opened confidential ethical-disciplinary procedures, approved proposals for investigation and impeachment and forwarded them to the Federal Council.
The president of the section, Paulo Maurício Siqueira, classified the situation as the "greatest crisis" ever faced internally by the Judiciary and reported that the Full Council heard more than one hundred people before deliberating, based on official Federal Police reports.
The National OAB (OAB — Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil) created a commission to examine documents and decide, after technical opinion, what measures it will adopt. The OAB-GO also called for a public session and the non-participation of ministers possibly involved in the facts.
9. The crisis reached Congress. Parliamentarians are discussing impeachment requests, changes to the Senate's Rules of Procedure, legislative obstruction and a possible Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI — Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito) on leaks, while growing fear that new documents may reach different political groups during the electoral campaign.
10. After the opening of part of the records, the PGR asked Fachin to clarify whether André Mendonça had decided a Federal Police request, made in March, for access to information on transfers to a person with standing before the Court. The request seeks to clarify the progress and does not prove, by itself, deliberate omission by the minister.
11. In the Chamber, two Judiciary reform texts, articulated by deputies Reginaldo Lopes and Danilo Forte, began collecting the 171 signatures needed to be formally presented as PECs (Propostas de Emenda à Constituição).
Forte's proposal gained, on September 14, the support of the Entrepreneurship Parliamentary Front (FPE — Frente Parlamentar do Empreendedorismo), which gathers more than 250 congressmen, and the entity will act in collecting the necessary signatures.
Both provide for a mandate for future STF ministers — of up to ten years in Lopes's proposal and eight years in Forte's — and neither text alters the situation of current ministers.
Forte's PEC also deals with appointments, limits on monocratic decisions and a deadline for the Senate Board to examine accusations for crimes of responsibility.

URGENT SUMMARY:
· The session on the 15th will decide, among other issues, whether there are sufficient elements to open a formal investigation into Alexandre de Moraes.
· It is not a definitive criminal judgment nor a condemnation.
· To open an inquiry, definitive proof of guilt is not required. In direct language, STRONG INDICATIONS suffice — concrete, serious, verifiable and legally obtained elements capable of justifying the investigation.
· The expression "strong indications" does not function as an automatic formula: the decision must point out which are the minimum elements of materiality and possible authorship and explain why they authorize an investigation.
· The plenary will also analyze the legality of the order that led to the deepening of the analysis of Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone, the validity of the report produced by the Federal Police, the PGR's request to annul it and the destination of information related to Moraes.
· André Mendonça is the original rapporteur of Petition 16.662 and will read the report after the opening of the session, delimiting the object of the judgment. Fachin, who took over the conduct of the process, will be the first to vote.
· Gilmar Mendes requested the postponement, but no official decision granting the request was located. It is a request for postponement, not a request for review — distinct procedural instruments.
· The issue involving the conduct of André Mendonça was separated and is scheduled for September 23, 2026.
· André Mendonça lifted the secrecy of 3,423 files in recent days, totaling more than 7 gigabytes of digital content. Reports indicate that 180 documents remained under seal, which, according to Moraes, would make the analysis of the evidence difficult.
· The Federal Police delivered to STF offices full copies of the data extracted from Vorcaro's cell phone.
· It is not correct to state that "no one read anything". It is also not reasonable to pretend that all judges managed to manually, deeply and in adequate context examine thousands of files received or released on the eve of the session.
· A postponement with a defined deadline, grounded and intended for the examination of evidence can protect due legal process. Indefinite shelving, selective secrecy or maneuvering to prevent the investigation would be incompatible with the gravity of the case.
· The competence to process and judge STF ministers for crimes of responsibility (impeachable offenses) is exclusive to the Federal Senate. It is not that of the Chamber of Deputies nor of a joint session of Congress.
· In common criminal offenses, the Constitution assigns to the STF itself original competence to process and judge its ministers.
· Davi Alcolumbre declared that there were 109 requests related to 10 STF ministers. Alexandre de Moraes is the target of 67 petitions presented by citizens and parliamentarians between 2019 and 2026, according to a survey by the newspaper O Liberal.
· The opposition announced that it intends to pressure for the consideration of requests against Moraes, including through obstruction and a proposal so that requests subscribed by 49 senators are submitted for analysis. This is a political initiative under discussion, not a rules change already approved.
· Two Judiciary reform texts circulate in the Chamber and still collect the 171 signatures required for the presentation of a PEC. Forte's PEC received support from the FPE (more than 250 congressmen).
· The Federal Police is investigating an alleged network for the commercialization of influence in the STF, STJ and TSE involving federal deputy Cezinha de Madureira and lawyers. The investigated have the right to the presumption of innocence; Cezinha denied irregularities.
· The legal fee contract between Banco Master and the Barci de Moraes law firm provided for 36 gross monthly installments of R$ 3,646,529.77, totaling R$ 131,275,071.72. Data from the Federal Revenue Service indicate that Banco Master paid R$ 80,223,654.94 to the firm over 22 months, between 2024 and 2025. Edits attributed by metadata to Alexandre de Moraes are part of the set of facts that is requested to be investigated. The firm confirmed access to the document and stated that the consultation with the minister was intended to verify legal impediments.
· The National OAB, the OAB/DF and the OAB-GO adopted different measures. Proposals from sections do not automatically equate to a definitive deliberation of the Federal Council.
· The manifesto released by more than 3,000 entities is a manifestation of business, sectoral and productive sector representative entities — and not a generic list of "civil associations".
· In a previous consultation on September 14, the "Apoio André Mendonça" page displayed 506,994 signatures. In the last check of this edition, the page displayed 507,178. As the counter is dynamic — and the update may vary between accesses — the data should always be accompanied by the date of consultation.
· The international press follows the case for its effects on judicial integrity, banking regulation, elections, money laundering, foreign investors and international asset recovery.

1. God acting, who shall hinder it?
In Isaiah 43:13 is found one of the most powerful affirmations about the sovereignty of God:
"I will work, and who shall let it?"
The answer of faith is clear:
NO ONE!
No economic power is greater than God.
No public office is greater than God.
No banker, businessman, parliamentarian, governor, magistrate, minister or economic organization is above Divine Justice.
However, we must not confuse the Justice of God with our personal desires. Praying for God to act does not mean asking that a certain person be condemned or that a certain minister vote according to our preference. It means asking that the truth be revealed, that the innocent be protected, that the guilty be held accountable and that the institutions honestly fulfill their mission.
Faith does not eliminate the need for evidence. True faith demands truth, prudence, responsibility and Justice.
---
2. No one is in the Judiciary to serve himself
No one is in the Judiciary to serve himself!
Ministers and magistrates are there to fulfill the CONSTITUTIONAL MISSION entrusted to them.
The Supreme Federal Court exists, according to Article 102 of the Constitution, to guard the Constitution itself. Its members, as well as all public agents, must obey legality, impersonality, morality, publicity, due legal process and the duty to justify their decisions.
Article 5 determines that all are equal before the law. This means that there can be no untouchable authority, no citizen previously condemned, nor investigation prevented by political, economic, religious or corporate interests.
It also means that no one can be treated as guilty before the conclusion of a fair procedure.
IN THE DEMOCRATIC STATE OF LAW, NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
Neither citizens.
Nor bankers.
Nor businessmen.
Nor parliamentarians.
Nor governors.
Nor investigators.
Nor ministers.
Nor the judges themselves.

3. What the September 15 session will really decide
The extraordinary session was convened to examine Petition 16.662 and decide, among other points, whether formal investigations should be opened into the facts attributed to Alexandre de Moraes in the context of the Master Case.
The plenary will have to address issues such as:
· the legality of the order that led to the deepening of the analysis of Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone;
· the competence to determine the identification of the interlocutors;
· the validity of the report produced by the Federal Police;
· the request of the Attorney General's Office to consider the report null;
· the observance of the accusatory system;
· the need for prior communication to the Presidency or the STF plenary;
· the possibility of using the elements found;
· and the destination of information related to minister Alexandre de Moraes.
Therefore, the session is not a definitive criminal judgment of Alexandre de Moraes, André Mendonça, Daniel Vorcaro or any other person.
The existence of messages, payments, contracts, contacts or references to authorities does not prove, in isolation, the commission of a crime. Any definitive accountability depends on lawful evidence, individualization of conduct, demonstration of the elements required by law, adversarial process, full defense and reasoned decision.

4. To open an inquiry, definitive proof is not required
It is fundamental to correct a confusion that can favor impunity: investigation is not condemnation.
To open an inquiry, it is not required that the crime already be fully proven. The investigation exists precisely to clarify whether the fact occurred, how it occurred, who participated and what evidence can be lawfully obtained.
In direct language, the opening can be justified when there are STRONG INDICATIONS — that is, concrete, serious, coherent and verifiable elements that go beyond rumors, conjectures or anonymous accusations without confirmation.
Legally, it is more precise to speak of minimum just cause to investigate, with elements that indicate possible materiality and authorship. Certainty of guilt is not required; a real basis is required that makes the investigation necessary and legitimate.
If there are no minimum elements, the procedure may be archived. If there are concrete indications, the State has the duty to investigate with independence, without prejudging and without protecting powerful people.

5. How the session will be
According to the rite disclosed on September 14:
1. the session will open at 10 a.m.;
2. the secretary will read the minutes of the previous session;
3. Edson Fachin will give the customary greetings and call the case for judgment;
4. Fachin will pass the word to minister André Mendonça, original rapporteur of Petition 16.662;
5. Mendonça will read the report and delimit the object of the judgment;
6. the Attorney General's Office may speak;
7. there will be space for oral arguments;
8. Fachin will present his vote and will be the first to vote;
9. the other ministers will vote in the regimental order.
André Mendonça is the original rapporteur of Petition 16.662 and, therefore, reads the report. The case reached Fachin after Mendonça, rapporteur of the Master Case, reported the conversations between Moraes and Vorcaro found during the investigations. Reports published at the end of the day indicated that Moraes could speak orally, but there was still no consolidated public confirmation about which ministers would vote, given the debates on impediment and suspicion.
Where to watch:
· STF on YouTube — live broadcasts (STF no YouTube — transmissões ao vivo)
· Official STF channel (Canal oficial do STF)
· TV Justiça and Rádio Justiça (TV Justiça e Rádio Justiça)
As the scenario can change rapidly, it is recommended to consult the official channels shortly before the scheduled time.
---
6. The postponement request
Minister Gilmar Mendes presented to Edson Fachin a formal request for the session to be postponed.
According to the minister, Petition 16.662 still did not have procedural contours sufficiently defined as to the exact object of the deliberation, the persons who would occupy the condition of investigated, the rite, the existence of a formal request to be decided, the regularity of the order that originated the report and the relationship with another procedure.
Gilmar also defended the joint examination of the issues related to Alexandre de Moraes and André Mendonça. Fachin decided to keep the analyses separate, because the procedures would be at different stages.
It is important to distinguish postponement from request for review: a request for postponement is a request for the session not to occur on the scheduled date. A request for review is a procedural instrument that, once granted, suspends the judgment so that the minister who formulated it can better analyze the case. Behind the scenes at the STF, it is speculated that a possible request for review could come from Gilmar Mendes during the session, which could postpone the conclusion of the judgment. Until the conclusion of this update, no official confirmation of postponement was located.
A grounded postponement, with a defined date, equal access to evidence and the purpose of ensuring a responsible judgment, should not be automatically confused with impunity.
"Pizza" would be using the postponement to hide facts, prevent the investigation or indefinitely shelve the case.

7. Three thousand files and seven gigabytes
Minister André Mendonça, rapporteur of the Master case at the STF, lifted the secrecy of 3,423 files in recent days, totaling more than 7 gigabytes of digital content. The STF's Information Technology department worked incessantly to provide a solution for storing so much content.
Initially, Mendonça had released access only to the accusations targeting minister Alexandre de Moraes, such as the conversations with banker Daniel Vorcaro. Upon realizing that the entirety of the process was not there, the president of the Court, Edson Fachin, other ministers of the Supreme Court and the Attorney General's Office initiated a collective demand on Mendonça for more files to be opened.
The STF website system even crashed, and the information did not come in blocks — but page by page — which limited the effective access to what was no longer under seal.
There is still much content to be known. Even with all the facilitated accesses, minister Mendonça, in a September 12 order, confirmed that he still keeps data under seal. According to Moraes himself, 180 documents remained under seal, which, in his assessment, would make the analysis of the evidence difficult.
It is necessary to correct the phrase "there is no time for anyone to read everything".
It is not possible to affirm that no minister or advisor analyzed relevant documents. The offices have technical teams, research instruments and the capacity to select the pieces directly linked to the object of the judgment.
However, the volume of the collection and the delivery or release of new materials on the eve of the session make it objectively improbable that all judges would perform a manual, integral, contextualized and contradicted analysis of all content before the beginning of the session.
Effective transparency requires:
· equal access;
· reasonable time;
· organization of the material;
· possibility of contestation;
· preservation of the chain of custody;
· delimitation of the object;
· proportional protection of personal data;
· and public and reasoned decisions.

8. What may happen in the plenary
If the session is initiated, the plenary may:
· consider preliminaries on the regularity of the procedure;
· examine the PGR's request for the report to be considered null;
· decide whether the information can be used;
· determine new diligences or complementation of the instruction;
· authorize the opening of a formal investigation;
· archive the procedure;
· postpone the deliberation for additional analysis;
· or suspend the conclusion in the face of a request for review, according to applicable rules.
There is no guarantee of a definitive decision on the 15th.
---
9. Seals, payments and incomplete transparency
On September 14, André Mendonça lifted the secrecy of a procedure related to the payment network attributed to Daniel Vorcaro and Banco Master. Agência Brasil reported that, with the measure, the STF lifted the judicial secrecy over 54 investigations derived from Operation Compliance Zero.
This does not mean, however, that all material has become public. Reports published on the same day stated that the Coaf report would involve 823 persons or entities, while the disclosed files would allow only part of them to be identified. Another report pointed out that more than 30 procedures of bank or tax secrecy-breaking remained sealed.
Also on September 14, the PGR supported the lifting of the secrecy of Petition 15.645, pointed out by Moraes as relevant to the session. The Attorney General's Office explained that it had not included this procedure in a previous list because it was unaware of its existence and because the petition did not appear visible to the institution in the STF system. Fachin then determined that Mendonça should arrange the lifting of the secrecy. The episode reinforces the need for equal access, clear cataloging and control over which records are effectively available to each participant.
After the release, the PGR asked Fachin to certify whether André Mendonça had decided a request made by the Federal Police on March 10 for full access to Coaf data on transfers to authorities with standing before the Court. In the records then published, according to UOL, there was no record of the subsequent forwarding. The PF maintained that the omission of information protected by standing before the Court left a gap in the financial tracking. The PGR's request seeks to clarify whether there was a decision and whether the document is accessible; it does not prove, by itself, that Mendonça deliberately prevented the investigation.
Therefore, the correct formulation is: there was a relevant expansion of publicity, but there is still controversy about the completeness, selectivity and extent of the disclosure.
The lifting of secrecy also does not automatically transform any payment into an unlawful act. Payments may correspond to regular contracts, legitimate services or lawful operations. Each operation must be examined individually, with documentation, origin, destination, purpose and effective beneficiary.

10. What the documents say about "A Turma" and the PCC
A report by ICL Notícias, corroborated by a report by UOL, reported that the Federal Police identified a transfer of R$ 10,000 amid an articulation intended to make a message about the existence of a "force behind" reach Daniel Vorcaro during his imprisonment.
According to the reports, members of the group investigated as "A Turma" would have sought support from PCC interlocutors so that Vorcaro would receive protection in prison. Messages attributed to those involved would call Vorcaro "companion" and "our friend" and state that he supported the gang and a regional branch of the faction.
"A Turma" was a kind of private militia that acted for Vorcaro. According to the investigation, the group gathered characters linked to security forces, militias and the animal game and was used to obtain information, monitor investigations and intimidate people considered adversaries of the banker.
What needs to be highlighted clearly:
· The money was sent by Manoel Mendes Rodrigues (Manolo), a member of "A Turma", to lawyer André Luís Chagas Bergeralck, after the two discussed a way to warn the banker that there was a "force behind" capable of helping him.
· The transfer occurred on November 28, 2025.
· The report records the payment in the same sequence as the conversations about how to deliver the message to Vorcaro, but does not attribute a specific purpose to the R$ 10,000.
· There is no, in the documents analyzed, indication that the money was transferred to the PCC or that the banker himself ordered the transfer.
· The financial movement, however, appears within an articulation that the PF describes as a "possible mobilization of members or related persons" of the PCC to provide support to Vorcaro during his passage through the São Paulo penitentiary system.
These elements are extremely serious and justify a deep investigation. But it is necessary to separate what was found from what still needs to be proven:
· the messages indicate an attempt to obtain protection through dialogue with the PCC;
· the transfer of R$ 10,000 occurred in the temporal context of the articulation;
· there is no proof that the money was effectively delivered to the PCC;
· there is no public proof that Vorcaro ordered this specific transfer;
· and the disclosed material does not authorize stating, as a definitively proven fact, that Vorcaro is a member of the PCC.
The responsible formulation is not "it is proven that he belongs to the PCC". The correct formulation is: there are documentary elements that point to an articulation of people linked to Vorcaro seeking protection from the PCC, a fact that needs to be fully investigated.

🔗 UOL — members of "A Turma" asked for PCC support (UOL — integrantes da "Turma" pediram apoio do PCC)
---
11. A session already treated as a milestone of discredit
The gravity of the session stems not only from what will be decided. It also stems from the fact that the Supreme Court itself must examine suspicions related to one of its members amid reciprocal accusations, divergences over seals, questioning about impediment and suspicion and doubts regarding the validity of the material produced by the Federal Police.
A report by Folha de S.Paulo published on September 14 stated that magistrates from different internal groups assess that, regardless of the outcome, the session may be marked as one of the most negative points in the Court's trajectory and as the maximum expression of the discredit accumulated by the Judiciary.
This formulation must be presented correctly: it is the reading attributed by the newspaper to magistrates heard under seal, and not an institutional declaration of the STF nor a legal fact already established.
Still, the assessment reveals the dimension of the crisis:
· If the plenary archives the material without sufficient grounding, there will be suspicion of corporatism.
· If it opens an investigation without delimiting facts and competences, there will be an accusation of instrumentalization.
· If it postpones indefinitely, the perception of shelving will increase.
The only institutionally defensible way out is a public, reasoned decision, juridically coherent and supported by verifiable elements.

12. The crisis reaches the National Congress
The Master Case ceased to be merely an internal crisis of the Supreme Court. A Folha report recorded that leaders and parliamentarians began to fear generalized leaks, new secrecy breaks and documents capable of reaching members of different parties and political groups during the electoral campaign.
The apprehension increased after the operation of the Federal Police against federal deputy Cezinha de Madureira, authorized by Flávio Dino, and in the face of the disclosure of references to other politicians in investigation materials. Mentions in messages, lists, agendas or reports do not prove participation in crimes. Each name must be contextualized, and all defense versions must be considered.
According to the report, Congress leaders began to discuss, for after the elections, a possible CPI aimed at investigating leaks. The idea is still a political articulation, not a formally installed commission.
At the same time, the opposition increased pressure on the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, so that impeachment requests against Alexandre de Moraes are examined. Rogério Marinho defended a change in the Internal Rules so that requests supported by 49 senators are automatically submitted for analysis, without depending exclusively on the dispatch of the president of the House. The proposal is not approved.
Alcolumbre declared that there were 109 requests referring to 10 STF ministers. A survey by the newspaper O Liberal indicated that Alexandre de Moraes is the target of 67 petitions presented by citizens and parliamentarians between 2019 and 2026. These totals bring together protocols from different times and situations: they do not demonstrate that all are simultaneously pending, complete or ready for judgment.
The crisis also boosted two Judiciary reform proposals in the Chamber. The texts articulated by Reginaldo Lopes and Danilo Forte were still seeking the 171 signatures needed for a PEC of parliamentary initiative to be formally presented. Forte's proposal gained, on September 14, the support of the Entrepreneurship Parliamentary Front (FPE — Frente Parlamentar do Empreendedorismo), which gathers more than 250 congressmen, and the entity will act in collecting the necessary signatures. Both provide for a mandate for future STF ministers — of up to ten years in Lopes's proposal and eight years in Forte's — and do not reach the current members of the Court. Forte's proposal also deals with appointments, limits on monocratic decisions and a deadline for the Senate Board to examine accusations for crimes of responsibility. They are drafts in the process of collecting support, not rules in force.
It is also indispensable to repeat: federal deputies may present manifestations, requests, representations or exercise political pressure, but the constitutional competence to process and judge an STF minister for a crime of responsibility belongs to the Federal Senate, and not to the Chamber.

13. Cezinha de Madureira, lawyers and the suspicion of selling influence
On September 14, the Federal Police carried out warrants in the third phase of Operation Transparency, authorized by minister Flávio Dino. Federal deputy Cezinha de Madureira was one of the targets.
According to the police request reproduced by the press, the investigation examines the possible existence of a structure intended for the commercialization of influence with members of the STF, STJ and TSE. The criminal hypotheses mentioned include exploitation of prestige, influence peddling, passive corruption and money laundering.
The reports state that the structure would involve Cezinha, lawyer Valéria Rodrigues Linhares and lawyer Mariângela Fialek, known as Tuca and former advisor to Arthur Lira. The suspicion is that the professionals captured or formalized causes, prepared contracts and memoranda, while the deputy would use personal contacts to present requests directly to ministers.
Among the documents cited appear contracts with:
· fees of R$ 1 million**, plus **R$ 2 million in case of success related to the intended release;
· and remuneration of R$ 500,000 conditioned on the result of a complaint in the STF.
High fees or contingency fees are not, by themselves, a crime. Nor is it unlawful for a lawyer to prepare memoranda, follow cases or request a hearing with a magistrate. The point under investigation is another: to know whether there was a promise, request or receipt of advantage under the pretext of influencing a public authority or whether political access was effectively sold as a clandestine service.
The procedures mention cases under the rapporteurship of André Mendonça, Kassio Nunes Marques and Gilmar Mendes. However, the PF request itself, according to the reports, emphasizes that these ministers are not being investigated in this operation and that there is no, in this procedure, imputation of irregularity to them.
Cezinha denied any irregularity, stated that he trusts in the clarification of the facts and maintained that measures of great repercussion should be executed at a distance from the electoral period. This is the defense's version and should be confronted with the evidence through due legal process.

14. The Barci de Moraes firm contract and the duty to investigate
Another axis that must be examined with rigor involves the contract between Banco Master and the firm linked to the family of Alexandre de Moraes.
According to the contract signed in January 2024, obtained by the press, the services would be remunerated in **36 net monthly installments of R$ 3 million**, totaling R$ 108 million over three years. With the taxation of 17.73% indicated in the document, the gross monthly value reached R$ 3,646,529.77, totaling R$ 131,275,071.72 in 36 months.
Data from the Federal Revenue Service sent to the Organized Crime CPI indicate that Banco Master paid R$ 80,223,654.94 to the firm over 22 months, between 2024 and 2025.
A clause of the contract established that, if the bank unilaterally terminated the agreement for its own convenience, it would have to pay the entire remaining value of the so-called "pró-labore", within 15 days. In practice, if Master delayed payments or withdrew from the legal advisory contract, the entire amount of the foreseen fees would still be owed to the firm.
The metadata would indicate two edits made by a profile identified as "Minister Alexandre de Moraes": one before the initial sending of the draft to Daniel Vorcaro and another after the banker returned the document with changes.
The firm confirmed that Moraes accessed and edited the draft. Its explanation was that the compliance department asked the minister for an assessment of possible legal impediments, because his wife, Viviane Barci de Moraes, was a managing partner. The firm also stated that the contract did not provide for acting before the STF, that the services were provided and that Moraes did not judge any case of Banco Master.
The existence of the contract, the value and the editing of the draft do not prove, in isolation, corruption, administrative advocacy, money laundering or crime of responsibility. But they constitute objective facts that need to be confronted with:
· the services effectively provided;
· the amounts effectively paid;
· the invoices and taxation;
· the origin and purpose of the resources;
· possible action by Moraes in favor of the bank or Vorcaro;
· contacts with investigative authorities;
· rules of impediment, suspicion and conflict of interest;
· and the correspondence between payments, messages and public acts.
It is precisely to answer these questions that an investigation exists. To archive without investigating would be imprudent; to condemn without proof would also be unjust.

15. The National OAB and the sections enter the case
Institutional advocacy began to act on several fronts, but it is important to distinguish what was decided by each organ.
OAB/DF: disciplinary procedures and proposals
On September 8, the OAB/DF determined the opening of confidential ethical-disciplinary procedures against the titular partners of the firm Barci & Barci Advogados and against lawyer Ciro Soares. The note itself clarified that the measure does not represent premature judgment of guilt and that ample opportunity will be ensured to demonstrate the services provided and the regularity of the contracts.
In the early hours of September 9, the Full Council of the OAB/DF approved, by majority, seven proposals to be forwarded to the Federal Council, including:
1. Bringing, before the Federal Senate, a request for the opening of impeachment processes against ministers Alexandre de Moraes and Dias Toffoli, for indications of the practice of crime of responsibility, under the terms of art. 52, II, of the Federal Constitution and art. 39 et seq. of Law No. 1,079/1950;
2. Demanding from the competent authorities a deep, exempt and transparent investigation of the involvement of any authorities that may be implicated in the facts, including ministers of the STF, STJ and other courts, as well as proceeding to the precautionary removal of those in whom such need is verified, preserving the constitutional guarantees of adversarial process and full defense;
3. Bringing, before the STF, a request for investigation of ministers Alexandre de Moraes and Dias Toffoli, given the gravity of the conducts under investigation by the Federal Police, as well as the regularity of the lifting of secrecy of the investigations of the Banco Master Inquiry;
4. Bringing, before the STF, in favor of lifting the secrecy of ongoing investigations involving authorities, including STF ministers, except for procedures of a confidential precautionary nature;
5. Request, before the STF, for the president of the Court to avoke all investigations involving persons without privileged standing before the STF and forward them to the competent judges and courts;
6. Request, before the STF, for the archiving of the Fake News Inquiry, granting publicity to the elements of the records;
7. Preparation of an open letter from the OAB to Civil Society about the measures taken and structural propositions for the Reform of the Judiciary, with the consequent restoration of the constitutional stature of the Supreme Court.
These are deliberations of the Federal District section and proposals directed to the Federal Council. They do not equate, by themselves, to a final decision of the National OAB nor to judicial recognition of a crime.
In an interview granted to the CB.Poder program on September 14, the president of the OAB/DF, Paulo Maurício Siqueira, classified the situation as the "greatest crisis" ever faced internally by the Judiciary. According to him, more than one hundred people were heard by the Full Council before the deliberation and the assessment considered information contained in official Federal Police reports. Siqueira stated that Brazil needs a response from the STF founded on probity, correct judgment and due legal process, reiterating that no authority is above the Constitution and the law.
The president of the section also treated the crisis as a systemic problem, and not merely as a controversy limited to two or three ministers. Regarding a possible mandate for STF members, he defended a cautious study, warning of the risk of transforming the vacancy in the Supreme Court into a mandate excessively subject to political dispute. This declaration does not alter the legal nature of the deliberation: the OAB/DF defends the opening of impeachment processes against Alexandre de Moraes and Dias Toffoli and a broad investigation, but the section decision does not replace the Federal Council of the OAB nor the Federal Senate.
National OAB: access to evidence and technical commission
The Federal Council and the presidents of the 27 sections decided:
· to request access to the elements of evidence, including those protected by secrecy to the legally possible extent;
· to request that the Attorney General of the Republic refrain from acting in Petition 16.662, with legal substitution;
· to request the opening of the applicable investigative procedures;
· to reinforce the request for the conclusion of inquiries of indefinite duration;
· and to create a commission to analyze documents and produce an opinion to be submitted to the Full Council.
On September 14, the national president Beto Simonetti defended immediate Judiciary reform and stated that the commission may deepen the work after the release of new documents. In a meeting of the Federal Council, he did not accept the request to immediately schedule the removal of Moraes, maintaining that the commission must conclude the technical analysis before any eventual deliberation.
OAB-GO: publicity and impediment
The OAB-GO approved a request for the session to be public, in-person and broadcast, and for ministers whose facts are under investigation not to participate in the voting. The section also defended possible precautionary removal if an investigation is opened, submitting the issue to the evaluation of the plenary and preserving due legal process.
The set of these measures shows that the crisis reached organized advocacy. It also shows that the positions are not identical: some sections defend immediate measures; the Federal Council opted for a commission, access to the records and prior opinion.

16. Why the Master Case matters to all Brazilians
The Master Case interests everyone because it involves:
· confidence in the financial system;
· the action of the Central Bank;
· the supervision of banking institutions;
· the protection of investors and depositors;
· operations related to the public bank BRB (Banco de Brasília);
· possible investments of pension funds;
· the use of the FGC;
· the relationship between economic agents and authorities;
· the independence of the Federal Police, the PGR and the STF;
· and the possibility of economic interference over public decisions.
The STF has already stated, in an official news item about a phase of the investigation, that the case involves suspicions of financial crimes, money laundering, corruption and criminal organization. They are investigative hypotheses, not definitive condemnations.

17. What the FGC is and why it matters
The Credit Guarantee Fund (FGC — Fundo Garantidor de Créditos) is a private civil association, non-profit, maintained by associated financial institutions. It is not a government body, but it performs an important function of protecting depositors and the stability of the financial system.
As a rule, the ordinary guarantee covers up to R$ 250,000 per CPF or CNPJ, per institution or financial conglomerate**, observing the conditions of the regulation. There is also a **global limit of R$ 1 million every four years for guarantees paid to the same creditor.
The FGC protects certain credits, not all investments, and does not replace supervision, governance or accountability. When an institution fails, the costs do not disappear: they affect the fund, the financial system, competition and the confidence of savers.
🔗 FGC — about the guarantee (FGC — sobre a garantia)
---
18. Why the case matters to the entire world
The Banco Master Case goes beyond Brazilian borders for at least six reasons.
1. International operations and interests
Reports and analyses mention assets, funds, intermediaries and economic interests located in the United States, United Kingdom, Portugal and other jurisdictions. This may require international legal cooperation and transnational tracking of resources.
2. International asset recovery
A legal analysis published in London reported that the liquidation of Banco Master was recognized by a United States bankruptcy court, with measures related to American assets and investigative powers for the liquidator.
🔗 Signature Litigation — analysis of the international effects (Signature Litigation — análise sobre os efeitos internacionais)
3. Money laundering prevention
Banks, fintechs, funds, brokers and foreign intermediaries need to verify the origin of resources, the effective beneficiaries and the exposure to politically exposed persons. If illicit operations crossed borders — a hypothesis that depends on proof — the investigation will require cooperation between authorities of different countries.
4. Security of foreign investors
The credibility of the regulatory system and the Judiciary influences the risk perceived by those who invest in Brazil. An analysis by Covington & Burling highlighted possible consequences for foreign investors, such as review of operations, strengthening of integrity controls and greater supervision.
🔗 Covington & Burling — why the case matters to foreign investors (Covington & Burling — por que o caso importa a investidores estrangeiros)
5. Judicial independence and democracy
The crisis tests the capacity of a Supreme Court to examine facts related to its own members without corporatism, persecution, selectivity or electoral interference.
6. The global precedent
The question observed outside Brazil is simple:
Can a democracy investigate powerful people, protect the innocent and hold the guilty accountable without destroying its own institutions?
That is why the Master Case matters to the entire world. Not because all accusations are proven, but because the case tests the integrity of the financial system, the Judiciary and democracy itself.

19. What the recent international press says
International coverage does not prove anyone's guilt. It demonstrates, however, that the case has already surpassed the internal Brazilian debate.
· Reuters, September 9, 2026: internal crisis of the STF, conflict between decisions and political consequences (Reuters, 9 de setembro de 2026: crise interna do STF, conflito entre decisões e consequências políticas)
· Reuters, September 11, 2026: political and financial ramifications of the case and opening of an investigation into multibillion-dollar bank fraud (Reuters, 11 de setembro de 2026: ramificações políticas e financeiras do caso e abertura de investigação sobre fraude bancária multibilionária)

20. Who judges STF ministers
It is necessary to make a decisive constitutional distinction.
Crimes of responsibility (impeachable offenses)
Article 52, II, of the Constitution establishes that it is exclusively incumbent upon the Federal Senate to process and judge STF ministers for crimes of responsibility.
Therefore, in this type of process:
· it is not the Chamber of Deputies that judges;
· it is not the National Congress assembled in joint session that judges;
· it is the Federal Senate that functions as the competent constitutional organ.
Common criminal offenses
Article 102, I, "b", assigns to the STF itself original competence to process and judge its ministers in common criminal offenses.
Therefore, the statement "only Congress can judge STF ministers" is too broad. The correct statement is:
the Senate judges crimes of responsibility; the STF has original competence for common crimes attributed to its own ministers.
🔗 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988 — Articles 52 and 102 (Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988 — artigos 52 e 102)
---
21. Crimes of responsibility and impeachment requests
Law No. 1,079/1950, in its Article 39, defines as crimes of responsibility of STF ministers:
· altering, except on appeal, a decision or vote already rendered in session;
· judging when, by law, one is suspected in the case;
· exercising party-political activity;
· being patently negligent in fulfilling the duties of the office;
· proceeding in a manner incompatible with the honor, dignity and decorum of the functions.
The law also allows any citizen to present to the Senate a denunciation for crime of responsibility, provided that the legal requirements are observed.
The conducts narrated in the Master Case may, in theory and if proven, provoke discussion about suspicion, negligence, honor, dignity, decorum and eventual misuse of the function. But the legal classification is not automatic. It is necessary to prove facts, individualize conducts, ensure defense and allow the competent organ to decide.
There are several impeachment requests against Alexandre de Moraes presented to the Senate over the years. In 2024, a widely publicized request was filed, and, on September 1, 2026, senator Carlos Viana announced a new request related to the conversations attributed to Moraes and Vorcaro.
Davi Alcolumbre declared, on September 1, that there were 109 requests relating to 10 STF ministers. A survey by the newspaper O Liberal indicated that Alexandre de Moraes concentrates 67 petitions presented by citizens and parliamentarians between 2019 and 2026.
These numbers confirm that there is a very high volume of denunciations and requests. They do not confirm, however, that all are simultaneously "stalled" or formally pending. The protocols have different situations: some may await dispatch, others may be under analysis, and others may already have been archived or rejected. The legally correct demand is for a public inventory, identifiable procedural situation, motivation for each decision and deliberation within a reasonable period.
On September 14, the opposition announced two forms of pressure: obstruction of votes if Alcolumbre does not schedule the impeachment of Moraes and a proposal to amend the Rules so that requests supported by 49 senators are automatically examined. Neither of these initiatives, until this update, modified the rite in force.
The OAB/DF also approved a proposal for the Federal Council to present to the Senate impeachment requests against Alexandre de Moraes and Dias Toffoli. It is a section deliberation forwarded to the national instance of the Order, not a condemnation nor, by itself, the opening of a process in the Senate.
It is also not technically correct to speak of "impeachment requests stalled in the Chamber". Deputies may present requests, motions, representations and political manifestations, but the constitutional denunciation for crime of responsibility of an STF minister is directed to the Federal Senate.

22. The manifesto of more than 3,000 entities
More than 3,000 entities — business, sectoral and productive sector representatives — adhered to the "Manifesto to the Brazilian Nation". Among the entities displayed on the official portal are the Confederation of Commercial and Business Associations of Brazil, the National Confederation of Commerce, the National Confederation of Industry, Fiesp, Facesp, Faesp and FecomercioSP.
The organizers state that the entities represent a significant portion of the economy and millions of jobs. As these numbers are declared by those responsible for the manifesto themselves, they should be attributed to them, and not presented as an independent official estimate.
The document states that Brazil is going through a serious institutional crisis, defends impartiality, transparency and reasoned decisions, and demands that the STF plenary examine the facts publicly, with urgency and without corporatism.
Its final phrase summarizes the appeal:
"No one, no one is above the LAW!"
It is more correct to call it a manifesto of entities of the productive sector and organized society than a "manifesto of more than 3,000 civil associations", because the list includes confederations, federations, unions, commercial associations and other representative entities.

23. The letter of the 13 former STF ministers
Thirteen retired ministers or former members of the Supreme Court signed, on September 8, 2026, a letter addressed to president Edson Fachin.
The document expresses confidence in Fachin's conduct, classifies the moment as the most acute crisis in the Court's history and calls for a public session and "immediate and rigorous investigation, under due legal process" of the facts that would be compromising the Court's prestige, popular confidence and institutional stability.
The letter is signed by:
Néri da Silveira; Francisco Rezek; Sydney Sanches; Celso de Mello; Carlos Velloso; Ilmar Galvão; Nelson Jobim; Ellen Gracie; Cezar Peluso; Ayres Britto; Joaquim Barbosa; Eros Grau; Rosa Weber.
It is relevant to record who did not sign: ministers who retired more recently, such as Luís Roberto Barroso, Marco Aurélio Mello and Ricardo Lewandowski — who was Minister of Justice and Public Security in the Lula government — did not sign the letter. Barroso and Lewandowski opted to seek an internal solution to the crisis, without public manifestation.
There is no confirmation that the 13 will attend the plenary in person. The reservation of seats for former members of the Court does not mean the presence of all signatories.

24. The new jurists' manifesto
On September 14, jurists, professors, economists and civil society representatives released the "Manifesto for the Consolidation of Brazilian Democracy".
The text defends four measures:
1. full and non-selective lifting of relevant seals;
2. respect for the constitutional distribution of competences;
3. self-correction, collegiality and public procedures to examine conflicts of interest or suspicions involving members of the Court;
4. cooperation between the STF, other Powers, Federal Police, Public Prosecutor's Office and the press, preserving the independence of each institution.
According to the published list, the manifesto gathered 39 names, among jurists and academics. The document relates the urgency of these measures also to the proximity of the elections, to prevent the political use of information selectively disclosed or kept under seal.

25. André Mendonça and the September 23 session
The president of the STF decided that the issue related to the conduct of André Mendonça will not be examined jointly in the session of the 15th.
The request for investigation against Mendonça, presented by Alexandre de Moraes, was separated and should be analyzed on September 23, 2026.
This does not diminish the importance of public mobilization. However, supporting André Mendonça does not mean placing him above the law. The correct defense is the defense of institutional independence, the investigation of facts and due legal process — for Alexandre de Moraes, André Mendonça, Daniel Vorcaro and any other person.

26. Public petitions in support of André Mendonça
Until September 14, 2026, three public pages in support of the minister were located. The numbers change constantly and should be checked directly on each platform.
1. Movement "Apoio André Mendonça"
In a previous consultation carried out on September 14, 2026, the page reported 506,994 signatures. In the last technical check of this edition, it displayed 507,178. The counter is dynamic and may present different updates between accesses; therefore, the number should be attributed to the moment of consultation and checked directly on the page.

2. Change.org
🔗 Support Minister André Mendonça in the fight for justice (Apoiar o Ministro André Mendonça na luta pela justiça)
3. Public Petition
🔗 Strength Minister André Mendonça! (Força Ministro André Mendonça!)

27. Verifiable statements and videos
There circulates on social networks the claim that André Mendonça would have literally declared that he "will not betray God nor the Brazilian people".
Until now, no full recording, official publication or reliable journalistic source was located that proves this exact phrase. It should not be presented in quotation marks as a literal declaration without the complete original video.
There are, however, authentic and documented statements of similar meaning.
"Honor the trust that the people place in us"
In a manifestation at the Superior Electoral Court, André Mendonça declared:
"May we honor the trust that the people, the citizen, place in us."
🔗 CNN Brasil report (Reportagem da CNN Brasil)
Warning against financial temptations
During a religious preaching, Mendonça stated:
"Do not submit to tempting proposals in the financial aspect."
🔗 Poder360 report (Reportagem do Poder360)
Faith, power and purpose
In another pronouncement, Mendonça stated that the purpose of human existence is not in financial, political or institutional power.

Thanks for the prayers
André Mendonça also published a video thanking the prayers and manifestations received.

28. Ulysses Guimarães and the defense of the Constitution
At the promulgation of the 1988 Constitution, Ulysses Guimarães pronounced one of the strongest warnings of republican history:
"As for it, to disagree, yes. To diverge, yes. To disobey, never. To affront it, never. Traitor to the Constitution is a traitor to the Nation."
In the same speech, he denounced corruption as the "termite of the Republic" and highlighted the duty of overseeing public life.
Juridical and political disagreements are legitimate. Deliberately disobeying the Constitution to serve particular interests, no.
🔗 Official speech and audio — Chamber of Deputies (Discurso oficial e áudio — Câmara dos Deputados)
"Betrayal of the Nation": political meaning and legal responsibility
Ulysses's expression is a political, civic and moral warning. It does not automatically transform every constitutional divergence into a criminal offense called "betrayal of the Nation".
When there is a possible unlawful act, the classification must be made under the applicable norms — common crime, improbity, disciplinary infraction or crime of responsibility — with proof, competence and due legal process.

29. Moses and the Tablets of the Law
The delivery of the Tablets of the Law to Moses appears in Exodus 31:18:
"Two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God."
🔗 Exodus 31:18 (Êxodo 31:18)
The image is powerful: authority must be subject to the Law.
No governor, magistrate or religious leader should decide exclusively according to his own will. Power is responsibility, not privilege.

30. What the Bible says about corrupt judges
The Bible condemns bribery, partiality and the perversion of Justice:
· Deuteronomy 16:18–20: judge with justice and do not accept bribes (Deuteronômio 16:18–20: julgar com justiça e não aceitar suborno)
· Exodus 23:6–8: do not pervert the right nor condemn the innocent (Êxodo 23:6–8: não perverter o direito nem condenar o inocente)
· Isaiah 5:23: condemnation of those who absolve the perverse for reward (Isaías 5:23: condenação de quem absolve o perverso por recompensa)
· Micah 3:11: warning against authorities who judge for interest (Miqueias 3:11: advertência contra autoridades que julgam por interesse)
· Amos 5:12: denunciation against those who accept advantage and harm the needy (Amós 5:12: denúncia contra quem aceita vantagem e prejudica o necessitado)
· Proverbs 17:15: condemnation of those who absolve the perverse and condemn the just (Provérbios 17:15: condenação de quem absolve o perverso e condena o justo)
· Psalms 82:2–4: duty to defend the poor, the orphan and the needy (Salmos 82:2–4: dever de defender o pobre, o órfão e o necessitado)
These passages establish moral standards. They do not authorize calling anyone corrupt without proof.

31. "If my people cry out"
The expression "if my people cry out, I will act" is a paraphrase of 2 Chronicles 7:14.
The verse calls the people to humble themselves, pray, seek the face of God, abandon evil ways and trust in divine healing.
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
🔗 2 Chronicles 7:14 (2 Crônicas 7:14)
God does not invite His people to hatred. He invites to repentance.
He does not invite to lies. He invites to truth.
He does not invite to persecution. He invites to Justice.
In 1 Timothy 2:1–2, Christians are instructed to pray for authorities:

32. Divine Justice in the light of Spiritist Doctrine
Spiritist Doctrine teaches that Divine Law is inscribed in conscience and relates moral responsibility to intention, knowledge, the evil practiced, the evil facilitated and the good that was left undone.
In The Spirits' Book:
· question 621 deals with the Law of God in conscience;
· questions 636 and 637 relate responsibility, intention and knowledge;
· question 639 addresses responsibility for the evil caused;
· question 640 deals with those who consciously take advantage of evil;
· question 642 examines the good that was left undone;
· question 807 condemns the abuse of social position;
· question 877 presents respect for the rights of others as an obligation.
🔗 The Spirits' Book — Kardecpedia (O Livro dos Espíritos — Kardecpedia)
The Gospel According to Spiritism presents wealth, authority and power as temporary responsibilities:
🔗 The Gospel According to Spiritism (O Evangelho segundo o Espiritismo)
Heaven and Hell presents Divine Justice as educational and reparative. Repentance does not eliminate the need to repair the evil:
🔗 Heaven and Hell (O Céu e o Inferno)
Divine Justice is not confused with human vengeance.

· power emanating from the people — Article 1, sole paragraph;
· independence and harmony between the Powers — Article 2;
· equality before the law — Article 5;
· freedom of conscience and belief — Article 5, VI;

🔗 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988 (Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988)
The Organic Law of the Magistracy determines that the magistrate comply with and enforce the law with independence, serenity and exactness:
🔗 Organic Law of the National Magistracy (Lei Orgânica da Magistratura Nacional)
The Statute of Advocacy protects technical independence, professional secrecy, fees and the prerogatives of lawyers. Therefore, defending clients, preparing memoranda, institutionally conversing with judges and agreeing on fees, including contingency fees, cannot automatically be treated as criminal activity. Legal protection does not reach eventual proven commercialization of influence, corruption or money laundering.
🔗 Statute of Advocacy and the OAB (Estatuto da Advocacia e da OAB)
Depending on the proven conduct, types such as corruption, prevarication, influence peddling, money laundering, fraudulent management, administrative advocacy or criminal organization may be legally relevant. No classification can be automatic.
🔗 Penal Code (Código Penal)
🔗 Money Laundering Law (Lei de Lavagem de Dinheiro)
🔗 Administrative Improbity Law (Lei de Improbidade Administrativa)
🔗 Law of Crimes of Responsibility (Lei dos Crimes de Responsabilidade)

34. International treaties and the fight against corruption
The American Convention on Human Rights protects fair trial, presumption of innocence, equality and judicial protection:
🔗 American Convention on Human Rights (Convenção Americana sobre Direitos Humanos)
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights protects independent and impartial trial:
🔗 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Pacto Internacional sobre Direitos Civis e Políticos)
The United Nations Convention against Corruption provides for measures of judicial integrity, fight against bribery, international cooperation and asset recovery:
🔗 United Nations Convention against Corruption (Convenção das Nações Unidas contra a Corrupção)
The Inter-American Convention against Corruption deals with the misuse of public functions and the obtaining of advantages:
🔗 Inter-American Convention against Corruption (Convenção Interamericana contra a Corrupção)
These norms impose two inseparable duties:
investigate corruption with independence and protect the fundamental rights of all investigated.

35. Prayer with Psalms 23 and 91
Psalm 23 presents God as Shepherd and guide along the paths of Justice:
🔗 Psalm 23 (Salmo 23)
Psalm 91 is a prayer of trust, deliverance and protection:
🔗 Psalm 91 (Salmo 91)
Prayer of Bishop Bruno Leonardo (Oração do Bispo Bruno Leonardo):

36. Prayer for the STF ministers and the Nation
Lord God, Father of Justice and Mercy,
We place before You Brazil, its people and its institutions.
We ask that Your light reach all the ministers of the Supreme Federal Court.
Grant them wisdom to distinguish truth from lies, courage to resist pressures, serenity to decide, humility to recognize errors and independence before political, economic, corporate or personal interests.
Protect the ministers against fear, vanity, ambition, vengeance and every form of corruption.
Bless the investigators, prosecutors, delegates, public servants, lawyers, journalists, witnesses, victims and family members.
May no true proof be hidden.
May no lie be transformed into proof.
May no innocent be condemned.
May no guilty be protected by money, influence or authority.
May those who practiced evil find repentance and be called to reparation.
May decisions be public, reasoned, impartial and respect the Constitution.
Deliver our Nation from hatred, violence, manipulation, corruption and injustice.
Teach us to cry out without persecuting, to oversee without slandering, to disagree without hating and to fight for Justice without abandoning peace.
May Brazil be healed of its evil ways.
May the truth come to light.
May Justice be done.
And may all remember that, when You act, no one can hinder it.
Amen.

37. Final call to Brazilian society
If the session is maintained on the 15th, watch the broadcast.
If it is postponed, follow the new date through the official channels.
Read the documents. Listen to the complete arguments. Do not accept only headlines, video cuts or anonymous messages.
Pray before, during and after.
But do not threaten, do not persecute, do not attack family members, do not disclose personal data and do not transform legal disagreements into authorization for violence.
Defending investigation does not mean anticipating condemnation.
Defending due legal process does not mean protecting irregularities.
Supporting André Mendonça does not mean placing him above the law.
Demanding explanations from Alexandre de Moraes does not mean denying him the presumption of innocence, adversarial process and full defense.
Requesting a grounded postponement to examine new evidence is not automatically "pizza".
But postponing indefinitely, hiding evidence, selectively disclosing data, preventing investigations or protecting powerful people would be unacceptable.
IN THE DEMOCRATIC STATE OF LAW, NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
THIS IS SERIOUS!
ENOUGH OF OMISSION!
ENOUGH OF IMPUNITY!
ENOUGH OF "PIZZA"!
May the truth be revealed.
May the innocent be protected.
May those responsible for proven irregularities be held accountable.
May public institutions never be placed at the service of private interests.
May the Brazilian people pray, follow, oversee and participate peacefully.
GOD ACTING, WHO SHALL HINDER IT?
NO ONE!

✅ CORRECTIONS APPLIED IN THIS ENGLISH VERSION
This literal English translation incorporates all corrections verified against the sources:
1. ✅ "Nation" used throughout instead of "Fatherland" (including in the Ulysses Guimarães quote, per your request).
2. ✅ Note on "pizza" added at the top, explaining the Brazilian political slang meaning.

5. ✅ "Crimes of responsibility (impeachable offenses)" at first mention.
6. ✅ Article citations standardized (Article 52, II / Article 102, I, b / Article 5, VI).

✅ OBSERVAÇÕES SOBRE A TRADUÇÃO DAS REFERÊNCIAS
O que foi feito nesta versão da seção de referências:
1. ✅ Títulos traduzidos para o inglês seguidos do título original em português entre parênteses, conforme pedido.
2. ✅ Nomes próprios preservados em português: instituições (Agência Brasil, Folha de S.Paulo, OAB, STF, PGR, etc.), lugares (Brasília, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, etc.) e veículos de imprensa.
3. ✅ Autoria mantida em português quando se trata de instituição brasileira (AGÊNCIA BRASIL, OAB/DF, CORREIO BRAZILIENSE, etc.).
4. ✅ Nomes de leis brasileiras mantidos em português, com tradução descritiva do objeto da lei (ex.: "Law No. 1,079, of April 10, 1950" sem título, pois é apenas "Lei nº 1.079").
5. ✅ Datas adaptadas para o padrão inglês (Sept. 12, 2026 em vez de 12 set. 2026).
6. ✅ Expressões "Disponível em" / "Acesso em" traduzidas como "Available at" / "Accessed on", com nota explicativa no cabeçalho.
7. ✅ Versículos bíblicos: títulos traduzidos para inglês, com referência original em português entre parênteses.

Ressalva sobre o padrão ABNT: A ABNT (NBR 6023) recomenda preservar o título no idioma original, adicionando tradução entre colchetes quando necessário. Nesta tradução, optou-se por colocar a tradução em inglês primeiro e o original em português entre parênteses, conforme sua solicitação explícita. Para submissão acadêmica estrita à ABNT, o padrão inverso (original primeiro, tradução entre colchetes) seria o mais recomendado.
