SAO PAULO — Brazil's Supreme Court plunged further into an institutional crisis on Friday, with two of its best known justices now requesting major sanctions against each other. Justice Alexandre de Moraes , 57, became a household name after leading the case that put former President Jair Bolsonaro in prison last year for an attempted coup. His colleague Andre Mendonca, 53, is the court's first evangelical member, appointed by Bolsonaro. Their recent animosity stems from a sprawling federal investigation into the financial fraud surrounding the collapsed Banco Master and its disgraced owner, Daniel Vorcaro, a topic that has also ensnared some politicians ahead of October’s elections. Mendonca reportedly wants de Moraes suspended while the court decides whether he should be investigated in a potential graft case.
