KEY POINTS

  • Moraes postponed Thursday statement to Monday, September 14
  • Chief Justice Fachin removed Moraes as fake news inquiry rapporteur on September 9
  • Plenary session set for September 15 to review Moraes-Vorcaro dialogues
  • Federal Police searched addresses Thursday over "Dark Horse" film funding
  • Fake news inquiry has been open since 2019 under then-Chief Justice Toffoli

Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes postponed a public statement originally set for Thursday at 11 a.m. to Monday, September 14, the eve of a plenary session called by Chief Justice Edson Fachin.

Fachin removed Moraes as rapporteur of the seven-year-old fake news inquiry on Wednesday, September 9, assuming the role himself. He also scheduled a session for Tuesday, September 15, where ministers will examine reported dialogues between Moraes and banker Daniel Vorcaro of Banco Master.

The delay came after Federal Police executed search warrants Thursday morning investigating parliamentary amendments allegedly used to fund "Dark Horse," a film about former President Jair Bolsonaro. Sources close to Moraes said the timing was unfavorable.

Moraes will deliver a statement without taking press questions. Ministers privately say Fachin's maneuver brings institutional gains but does not fully resolve the crisis surrounding the inquiry opened by former Chief Justice Dias Toffoli in 2019.
