The article discusses the questionable impartiality of Minister Alexandre de Moraes in leading an inquiry into the alleged breach of confidentiality involving Supreme Court judges and their families. The conflict arises because his wife, Viviane Barci, is considered a potential victim of the crime in question, raising concerns about his ability to conduct an unbiased investigation. The author notes that this conflict of interest runs counter to the principles of fairness and equality in judicial processes.

Additionally, the piece highlights a series of irregularities in the inquiry's initiation. Moraes took it upon himself to lead the investigation rather than being appointed through a randomized selection, a common practice intended to uphold republican ideals of impartiality. Furthermore, the investigation into potential illegal leaks stems from a previous case referred to as the "cabinet of hatred," which Moraes also oversaw without the usual procedural safeguards involving the public prosecutor's office, suggesting a pattern of bypassing standard protocols.

The article ultimately raises significant questions about the legal ramifications of Moraes's actions and the broader implications for the integrity of the Brazilian judicial system. There is a stark warning that if the investigation into the breach of confidential information is mishandled, it could undermine public trust in the judiciary and complicate legal accountability for abuses of power. The piece calls for a reevaluation of the processes that enable such conflicts of interest to remain unchecked in high-stakes judicial matters.
