What happened
An investigation into the collapse of Banco Master is underway, with the bank facing liquidation following its conduct under scrutiny. Justice André Mendonça is overseeing the case, which involves allegations of financial fraud. Meanwhile, Justice Alexandre de Moraes demanded an investigation into Justice Mendonça after Mendonça unsealed a police report containing alleged messages between the two justices and an arrested banker. Separately, the prosecutor-general received the first vote against an inquiry into himself regarding the Banco Master case, finding no minimum evidence of a crime.
