President of the STF orders ministers, PGR and PF to provide clarifications on the report that quotes Moraes

The president of the STF (Supreme Federal Court), Luiz Edson Fachin, ordered ministers André Mendonça and Alexandre de Moraes, the attorney general of the Republic, Paulo Gonet, and the director general of the Federal Police, Andrei Rodrigues, to provide information within five days about the Federal Police report regarding the messages sent by Daniel Vorcaro and which indicate Moraes as the interlocutor.

This Thursday's decision (3) was released minutes after Moraes asked Fachin to investigate Mendonça for abuse of authority, administrative improbity and criminal liability in the conduct of the Master and INSS (National Social Security Institutes) case. It was signed, however, before Moraes' act and relates only to the PF material sent to Mendonça and which cites Moraes.

Fachin requests information about the circumstances in which Mendonça determined the identification of the people Vorcaro was talking to and the measures taken to ensure that the rules for investigating authorities were complied with.

The minister also ordered the office of the rapporteur for the Master and INSS cases to send the full copy of the case files in which the report citing Moraes was added. He also included the note released by Moraes on March 6 of this year, when he denied being the recipient of Vorcaro's messages.

At the time, the magistrate stated that a technical analysis carried out on data from Vorcaro's messages found that the single-view messages sent by him on November 17, 2025, the date of the former banker's first arrest, do not correspond to the contacts of minister Alexandre de Moraes in the seized files.

"The check showed that the screenshots and the respective contact are linked to other file folders and telephone directories on the sender's own computer, demonstrating that the messages were directed to other contacts and not to the minister", he said in the text.

These same messages appear in the report presented to Mendonça by the PF, with the indication that Vorcaro's interlocutor was Moraes.

The president's order then questions, among other points, compliance with the Organic Law of the Judiciary by the PF, possible access to private documents and confidential information and the circumstances of an investigation.

"It is up to the president of the court to ensure that the possible collegial assessment is carried out, in a timely manner, with the high sense of responsibility that the facts require, always ensuring respect for the constitutional guarantees of due legal process, full defense and adversarial proceedings", says Fachin.

According to the minister, even though the PGR raised doubts, in the request to annul the report, the information in the material requires action from the president of the court if recognized.

Fachin questions, in the document, the PF's compliance with procedures when authorities with special jurisdiction are identified in investigations.

The president also wants information about improper access to private documents through institutional credentials or about the leakage of confidential data to those under investigation.

Moraes' measure was taken as part of the fake news investigation. Moraes claims that Mendonça acted to direct the investigations, "with a breach of judicial impartiality and favoring certain political groups".
