On October 10, 2023, Luiz Edson Fachin, the President of Brazil's Supreme Court (STF), publicly advocated for judges to maintain a "healthy distance" from the interests at play in legal cases. This statement reflects the ongoing concerns regarding the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary amid rising controversies. In private discussions, Fachin is actively working to contain the crisis surrounding Banco Master, engaging with his colleagues in the court as well as providing support to André Mendonça, the rapporteur handling the case.

In the course of addressing the Banco Master crisis, Fachin has had several conversations with Mendonça to strategize the handling of the case, emphasizing the need for a structured approach to ensure fairness. They last spoke on the evening of October 9, and it was reported that Fachin is also revisiting discussions around the court's code of ethics, which he regards as a crucial tool in restoring public confidence and addressing current issues. This proactive approach signals an effort not only to manage the crisis but also to reinforce ethical standards within the judiciary.

During a recent meeting with leaders from higher and second-instance courts, Fachin refrained from mentioning the ongoing inquiry related to the fraud allegations against Banco Master. Instead, his focus was directed towards promoting the judicial body's role and responsibilities in upholding justice, hinting at a broader strategy to navigate the crises without further escalations. By balancing public remarks with private support and discussion, Fachin aims to stabilize the court’s reputation and effectively address the significant challenges posed by the Banco Master case.
