Brazil's Supreme Court in Crisis Amid Corruption Allegations Ahead of Presidential Election

Brazil's Supreme Court is in crisis, with sessions canceled and justices overruling each other's decisions. The crisis stems from the collapse of Banco Master, a mid-sized bank worth up to $16 billion, which was shut down last November after a fraud scheme investigation linked to several politicians and judiciary members. Justice Andre Mendonca, an appointee of former president Jair Bolsonaro, was in charge of the case, while Justice Alexandre de Moraes provided legal advice to the bank's former head Daniel Vorcaro, who had business dealings with several high-ranking politicians. The crisis is set to escalate ahead of Brazil's presidential election in October.
