Supreme Court Minister Dias Toffoli has been removed from the relaying of the Banco Master case following unanimous decisions made by the court's ministers. This decision was taken after a day of intense closed-door meetings, indicating the gravity of the situation surrounding Toffoli. The court dismissed a motion questioning Toffoli's impartiality, thus recognizing his previous actions in the case as legitimate. Minister André Mendonça has been appointed as the new relater of the case.

The scrutiny against Toffoli escalated following the delivery of a comprehensive 200-page report from the Federal Police to Supreme Court President Edson Fachin. This report outlined new suspicions and indicators of potential crimes committed by Toffoli, highlighting messages from Banco Master’s owner, Daniel Vorcaro, which referenced Toffoli. The report also revealed that the minister may have received payments from a fund associated with Banco Master, creating further implications regarding his financial dealings and possible conflicts of interest.

This development raises significant questions about the integrity and accountability of Brazil's judicial system, particularly in high-profile cases involving financial institutions. The implications of these allegations could extend beyond Toffoli personally, potentially affecting public trust in the Supreme Court and its ability to conduct impartial justice. As the new relater André Mendonça takes over, the focus will likely be on how the case progresses in light of these newly revealed suspicions against Toffoli.
