Brazil’s Supreme Court has canceled deliberations for two consecutive days amid an internal crisis involving allegations of corruption, political interference and police misconduct. The dispute began after Justice Andre Mendonca unsealed police documents that appear to show banker Daniel Vorcaro seeking advice from Justice Alexandre de Moraes in roughly 30 text messages. De Moraes denies wrongdoing, accuses Mendonca of pursuing political gain and has requested an investigation into whether Mendonca interviewed Vorcaro without prosecutors or police present. The full court is scheduled to meet Tuesday, when 10 justices will consider whether to investigate de Moraes. The conflict is linked to the collapse of Banco Master and Vorcaro’s arrest on allegations of defrauding investors, a scandal that has also drawn scrutiny to figures associated with Brazil’s political factions ahead of October’s elections.

Elections coming up make these graft claims even more damaging to whatever trust remains in the court.

Canceling sessions over internal fights like this only delays real accountability in the Banco Master case.
