Federal Police has delivered copies of data extracted from Daniel Vorcaro’s phone to the offices of Supreme Federal Court justices Cristiano Zanin, Alexandre de Moraes and Gilmar Mendes, according to a report focused on the case’s latest procedural developments.¹

The transfer has become part of a wider internal debate at the court ahead of a plenary session expected to examine a request to open a formal investigation involving Moraes. The central difference is over the scope of access: Zanin and Mendes have petitioned for the full contents of Vorcaro’s phone data, rather than relying only on material already separated for the proceedings.²

Mendonça has challenged that approach. As described by the account of the dispute, his view is that the evidence required for the court’s initial deliberation has already been made available to every member of the bench. That position does not reject scrutiny of the material; it argues that broader access is unnecessary at this preliminary stage.

The competing positions therefore turn on timing and procedure rather than on a publicly stated disagreement over whether the allegations should be examined. Zanin and Mendes’ requests point to a preference for fuller access before the court decides how to proceed. Mendonça’s objection favors a narrower reading of what the justices need to make an initial ruling.

The reported delivery to Moraes’ office adds another dimension: one of the recipients is the justice named in the request under discussion. The court’s eventual handling of the access requests could shape both the information available to the justices and the process used to decide whether a formal inquiry moves ahead.
