Mendes atendeu ao pedido da Advocacia-Geral da União (AGU).  Notícias relacionadas:AGU pede que STF reconheça validade do reajuste do Bolsa Família.Para o ministro, o reajuste não afronta as regras eleitorais e representa medida legal para atualizar o piso familiar do programa. “A medida não importa criação de novo benefício, alteração dos critérios de elegibilidade ou ampliação do universo de beneficiários.

A defesa do ex-banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro pediu ao presidente do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), Edson Fachin, a revogacão da prisão preventiva do dono do antigo banco Master, que é investigado por corrupção de agentes públicos e fraudes financeiras bilionárias.  No pedido, a defesa argumenta que as investigações do caso Master foram paralisadas devido ao pedido de vista do ministro Flávio Dino na sessão plenária da última terça-feira (15), quando os ministros deveriam ter analisado a eventual abertura de investigação contra o também ministro Alexandre de Moraes.  Notícias relacionadas:Dino manda PF investigar relação de Vorcaro com cemitérios em SP.Defesa de pai de Vorcaro cita impasse no STF e pede soltura.Mendonça rejeita ação contra reajuste do Bolsa Família .Com a vista, os processos relativos à Operação Compliance Zero, que investiga Vorcaro, ficaram paralisados no gabinete de Fachin, para onde foram enviados pelo relator André Mendonça em meio a uma crise institucional em torno do caso.  Os advogados de Vorcaro sustentam que seu cliente não pode ficar preso indefinidamente, enquanto o Supremo vive um impasse em torno da própria relatoria do caso Master. Eles destacaram ainda que o ex-banqueiro está preso há mais de 90 dias sem que o Supremo analise um recurso pela soltura.  “Na sessão plenária de 15 de setembro de 2026, a própria definição da relatoria e da competência para a condução dos procedimentos correlatos foi objeto de questão de ordem, cujo julgamento foi suspenso por pedido de vista”, diz a petição da defesa.  Vorcaro está preso desde novembro do ano passado. No momento, ele se encontra no 19º Batalhão de Polícia Militar do Distrito Federal, onde há um pavilhão voltado a presos especiais conhecido como Papudinha, devido a sua proximidade com o Complexo Penitenciário da Papuda.  Entenda  O STF mergulhou em uma crise institucional sem precedentes desde que o ministro André Mendonça, relator do caso Master, decidiu levantar o sigilo sobre um relatório da Compliance Zero que traz mensagens que os investigadores dizem ter sido enviadas por Vorcaro a Moraes.  Com base no documento, Mendonça pediu ao plenário que autorizasse o prosseguimento das investigações contra Moraes.  Em reação, Moraes divulgou um relatório de inteligência da Polícia Federal (PF) que sugere o direcionamento das investigações por Mendonça, de modo a atingir desafetos políticos. O documento, porém, não é assinado nem traz o timbre da corporação, além de ter na capa o aviso de que suas analises são “sem valor probatório”.  Moraes pediu que Mendonça seja investigado por abuso de autoridade, improbidade administrativa e crime de responsabilidade. O pedido entrou na pauta do plenário de 23 de setembro, mas acabou retirado por Fachin. Não há data prevista para o julgamento.
