Justice Luiz Fux has been selected to oversee a lawsuit seeking Senate entry-and-exit records for a group that includes lawyer Viviane Barci de Moraes and former banker Daniel Vorcaro. A report from the Brazil Right perspective focused on the immediate development: Fux has taken over the action concerning the pair’s records.¹

The case was initially assigned to Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who declared himself unable to hear it because his wife, Viviane Barci de Moraes, is among those whose records are sought. The Brazil Left account similarly describes Fux’s selection, while setting it in the broader dispute over access to institutional records.²

The petition was brought to the Supreme Federal Court by Curitiba city councillor Guilherme Kilter of the Novo party. He argues that release of the records is needed to scrutinize meetings at the Senate, seeking information covering 2016 to 2019 for eight people. The request also names Fábio Luís Lula da Silva and Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes, according to the report.²

The Senate rejected Kilter’s earlier freedom-of-information request, citing Brazil’s data-protection law. A federal judge in Paraná then ruled that the lower court lacked jurisdiction, because Senate President Davi Alcolumbre was identified as responsible for the denial and falls under the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction.²

The accounts differ mainly in emphasis rather than on the procedural outcome. The right-leaning report presents the handover to Fux as the central development. The left-leaning report stresses the legal route to the Supreme Court and notes that messages extracted from Vorcaro’s phone have prompted claims of possible benefits involving Moraes and his wife; it also says the Supreme Court has not yet considered the Federal Police report on those conversations.²
