Minister Dias Toffoli of Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) is currently facing a total of ten impeachment requests filed in the Federal Senate. Four of these requests are specifically related to the Banco Master case and were presented in 2026. The latest request was announced by the Novo party on Thursday, with party leader Deputy Marcel Van Hattem emphasizing that if authorities do not take action compelled by law, they should respond to social pressure. This reflects a growing sentiment among some lawmakers that the Senate can no longer remain silent regarding the ongoing issues surrounding Toffoli.

Several other requests for Toffoli's impeachment cite various justifications, including his inclusion on a U.S. sanctions list alongside his fellow judges, accusations of bias, particularly in cases involving JBS, a major Brazilian corporation for which Toffoli's ex-wife allegedly advocates, and his votes that have overridden significant judicial decisions, including the annulment of a plea deal from a former governor.

The situation presents a significant constitutional and political challenge as it raises questions about judicial independence and accountability in Brazil, especially in light of the public pressure on the political class to take decisive action. If these requests lead to a trial, it could have profound implications for the separation of powers in Brazil, potentially setting a precedent for how the judicial and legislative branches interact in cases of alleged judicial misconduct.
