"O presidente do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), Edson Fachin, negou a suspeição do ministro Kássio Nunes Marques para julgar a ação que pede a instalação da Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito (CPI) do Master"
Writ of mandamus 40.823 was assigned to Nunes Marques on March 26, 2026, establishing a deadline until March 31 for filing challenges. Senators Eduardo Girão (Novo-CE), Alessandro Vieira (MDB-SE), Marcos Pontes (PL-SP) and Plínio Valério (PSDB-AM) filed the request only on May 12, 2026, more than a month after the deadline expired. ?

"O presidente do STF afirmou que o prazo para questionar a relatoria era de cinco dias após a distribuição do processo. Como o MS 40.823 foi distribuído a Nunes Marques em março"
The parliamentarians alleged that Nunes Marques has a friendship with Senator Ciro Nogueira (PP-PI), target of Operation Compliance Zero investigating Master Bank. According to the senators, this proximity would create impediment for the minister to judge the writ of mandamus requesting CPI installation. ✓
