In Brazil, Justice Alexandre de Moraes reigns over the highest Judiciary, creating a tense and controversial landscape marred by deep surveillance. Seen as a vigilant watchman, Moraes maintains a blacklist where names linger indefinitely and new entries can be added at any moment. Recently, leaked conversations among his aides have stirred turmoil, unveiling sinister proposals like kidnapping and fabricating evidence.
Instead of addressing these breaches, Moraes launched an inquiry not to scrutinize his team’s actions but to hunt down the whistleblower, expanding the list of “wanted” individuals. This approach has raised suspicions and discomfort, questioning who will investigate the leaked content and if the judges’ actions are justified.
The STF has evaded accountability, asserting nothing illegal occurred, despite damning evidence. Moraes, central to the scandal, avoids delving into the leaked discussions, positioning himself in charge of the “Vaza Toga” investigation. The irony deepens with an alleged assault involving Moraes and his family in Rome, lacking concrete evidence.
This narrative reveals a troubling fusion of power dynamics and surveillance within Brazil’s legal system, reflecting broader concerns about justice and democracy’s fragility.
