  "account": "Brazil's Supreme Court is experiencing a rare public rift among its justices, according to a newspaper report. Justice Cármen Lúcia has come forward, stating that mistakes were made on both sides in the conflict between two colleagues, Justice Alexandre de Moraes and Justice André Mendonça. The conflict centers around Daniel Vorcaro, a banker whose Banco Master was shut down by regulators last year. Federal Police examined Vorcaro's confiscated phone and reportedly found contact with a person linked to Moraes. They delivered a 218-page report to Mendonça's office on August 27, 2026, which led to the lifting of secrecy on the matter on September 1, 2026. Moraes has not been charged with any crime, and the police report does not conclude that he acted improperly. The dispute has also drawn criticism from the National Association of Federal Police Delegates, who have asked Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet to step aside from the case. Intelligence union Abin has also criticized the police report, arguing it does not meet Brazil's standards for intelligence work. Meanwhile, Justice Gilmar Mendes has proposed a rule change that would bar police and military officers from holding staff posts in justices' chambers. The court has not yet voted on this proposal. The dispute has also reignited a long-running inquiry into online attacks on the court, which could be brought before the full 11-member court for open debate.",
