On Thursday, Minister Dias Toffoli, the rapporteur for the Master case at Brazil's Supreme Court (STF), issued a directive for the Federal Police (PF) to send full data from all cell phones that were seized and examined in the ongoing investigation. This decision follows a report delivered to Supreme Court President Edson Fachin by PF director Andrei Rodrigues, which detailed the forensic analyses conducted on the phones belonging to Daniel Vorcaro, the owner linked to the Master case.

Toffoli's decision mandates that the PF must provide comprehensive data from all devices and media seized, including forensic reports that encompass telematic, computer, and telephonic data. The investigations have revealed that Toffoli’s name was mentioned in messages found on one of the devices, raising the stakes in a case that is already under close scrutiny. The significance of Toffoli's ruling may impact the trajectory of the investigation, as it highlights the continuing intertwining of political figures with criminal inquiries, thus maintaining public interest and concern regarding judicial impartiality and transparency.

Additionally, the PF referenced a clause from the internal regulations of the Supreme Court that pertains to the disqualification of a judge, which occurs when a judge withdraws from overseeing a case due to perceived conflicts of interest that could undermine their neutrality. This context adds layers to the case as it involves high-ranking officials, turmoil within the legal system, and questions regarding the integrity of the judicial process in Brazil.
