Scandal-Plagued Judge Under a $25M Corruption Probe Just Banned Flavio Bolsonaro From Leaving Brazil

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes attends a court session at the Supreme Federal Court (STF) in Brasilia on September 2, 2026. The president of Brazil's Supreme Court on September 2 urged citizens to maintain trust in the institution as it battles a scandal involving a polarizing judge who has crossed swords with the right and Elon Musk. Justice Alexandre de Moraes, famous for overseeing the coup trial of far-right ex-president Jair Bolsonaro and for battling disinformation on Musk's X platform, has come under intense scrutiny over text messages he received from a fraud-accused banker.
