What did you think?

Parts of Brazil's long-running fake-news investigation could become public under an order described by journalist Amanda Klein, bringing renewed scrutiny to the Supreme Federal Court and Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

In a short commentary for Brazil's SBT News, Klein reports that Edson Fachin, the court's president, has decided to close the inquiry after seven years. She says he has also ordered secrecy lifted from an important portion of the investigation, raising the prospect of previously undisclosed names emerging.

The court, known in Brazil as the STF, is the country's highest authority on constitutional questions. Moraes joined it in 2017 after being appointed by President Michel Temer. Klein examines what ending the investigation could mean for his role and the reach of the inquiry.

She also reports the replacement of Federal Police investigators connected to the "Master case," following reports concerning Supreme Court justices. The clip gives no further detail about those reports or the reasons for the personnel changes.

Its title, "Será o fim do ministro Alexandre de Moraes no STF? | #sbtnews", asks whether this will be the end of Moraes's time on the court. The video raises that question rather than announcing his departure. It closes by directing viewers to Central de Notícias for the fuller report and analysis.
