The president of the Supreme Federal Court, Edson Fachin, defined the procedure for Tuesday's trial regarding the messages sent by former banker Daniel Vorcaro to Justice Alexandre de Moraes on the eve of the arrest of the former owner of Banco Master. The session will begin with the reading of the case report, to be made by the rapporteur, Edson Fachin. The president of the STF will also make the "delimitation of the object of the trial," the Court indicated.

Next, space will be opened for any statement from the attorney general of Brazil, Paulo Gonet, and "oral arguments." Generally, these arguments are made by the lawyers of the parties. It is still not known whether a lawyer can speak on behalf of Moraes or if the justice himself will make his defense before his STF colleagues.

After these statements, President Edson Fachin, as rapporteur, will present his vote, with any proposals regarding the case - for example, the possible opening of an investigation into Moraes. Next, the other justices will vote.
