Nunes Marques

Brazilian Supreme Court justice Edson Fachin is set to meet with Federal Police officials to discuss references to Supreme Court ministers in the Master investigation, including matters involving banker Daniel Vorcaro. The meeting comes amid public tension between the Supreme Court and the electoral court during the final stretch of the election campaign, with figures like Kassio Nunes Marques expected to raise criticisms. Fachin has also publicly praised the electoral judiciary and urged confidence in institutions.

Justice Minister Flávio Dino's ministry, under a decision attributed to Supreme Court justice Nunes Marques, must include Romeu Zema and other Novo party candidates for state governorships in official electoral debates in Brazil. The ruling extends debate participation rules beyond the major party candidates, affecting upcoming gubernatorial race broadcasts.

In Brazil, congressman Paulinho da Força has asked Justice Minister Flávio Dino to seek the removal of Supreme Court justices Kassio Nunes Marques and André Mendonça from cases dealing with electoral advertising handled by the electoral court, the TSE. The request puts two court-appointed justices at the centre of a political dispute over election ad rules.

Andre Marinho is being searched alongside coverage of the Rio de Janeiro gubernatorial race, days before Brazil's election. Electoral authorities, via Justice Nunes Marques, ordered broadcasters including Globo to include Novo party candidates such as Romeu Zema in televised debates. A Globo presenter misnaming a candidate and being corrected by Garotinho also fueled discussion.
