Leaked CPI documents show R$80 million flowed to the office of Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes's wife over two years.

1. O É da Coisa, hosted by Reinaldo Azevedo, covers the April 8 2026 eruption of leaked Federal Revenue data linking Banco Master payments to STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes's wife's law firm. 2. Reinaldo Azevedo is the sole host; a veteran Brazilian journalist and commentator known for commentary on the Supreme Court, Lula governments, and the Bolsonaro opposition. 3. The episode's core thesis is that the CPI of Organized Crime is using confidential tax data as a political weapon, and that this sets a structural precedent dangerous to all sides. 4. Federal Revenue documents show 11 payments of R$3,646,529.72 in 2024, totaling R$40,111,826.92, to Barça de Moraes Sociedade de Advogados, the firm of Alexandre de Moraes's wife. 5. A further R$40,111,826.02 was declared for 2025, bringing the two-year total to R$80.2M, according to documents the Folha de São Paulo obtained via the CPI. 6. Azevedo argues the leak is itself illegal regardless of what the data contains, because advocacy office billing records are confidential under Brazilian law. 7. The same CPI documents named Ratinho (R$21M for advertising intermediation), Henrique Meireles (R$18.5M as a private consultant), Guido Mantega's Polaris Consultoria (R$14M), and Jax Wagner's BN Financeira (R$12M) as recipients of Master payments. 8. Azevedo reads each name and challenges listeners: none of these transactions occurred while the bank was under investigation, and no criminal act has been identified for any of them. 9. Michel Temer's office received R$10M in 2025; ACM Neto's consultancy received R$5.45M; Ricardo Lewandowski's advocacy firm received R$6.1M—Azevedo notes Lewandowski was a sitting STF minister until recently. 10. Lula gave an interview to ICL Notícias advising Moraes to 'declare himself banned from voting on the Master case,' which Azevedo corrects: Moraes is in the first class; the Master case is in the second class, so he is already constitutionally barred without any self-recusal. 11. Azevedo cites Article 252, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which prohibits a judge from sitting on a case where a spouse has acted as defense counsel, making Moraes's involvement already impossible by statute. 12. Lula's phrase 'do not allow this case to throw out your biography' is rebutted by Azevedo using Getúlio Vargas as a case study: Vargas ran a fascist government from 1937 to 1945 and also structured lasting Brazilian labor institutions—both parts of the biography coexist. 13. A Meio & Mensagem poll conducted April 3–7 with 1,500 respondents and 2.5% margin shows Flávio Bolsonaro at 45.8% vs. Lula at 45.5% in a simulated second round—the first time Bolsonaro is numerically ahead. 14. Government approval ('good or excellent') fell from 34.6% to 32%, while 'bad or terrible' rose to 46.4%, numbers Azevedo calls 'incompatible with the quality of the government.' 15. Lula commented that Daniel Vorcaro's plea deal 'can be bought,' a statement Azevedo parses carefully: the same logic could be applied to Mauro Cid's earlier plea, which was conducted by only one entity (the Federal Police) rather than the current dual arrangement. 16. The PT's 2021 legal action before the STF, with Alexandre de Moraes as rapporteur, seeks to bar convictions or asset freezes based solely on uncorroborated informant testimony—a rule Azevedo says he personally supports on due-process grounds. 17. Central Bank president Gabriel Galípolo testified at the CPI that there are no audits or internal investigations pointing to Roberto Campos Neto's culpability in the Master case. 18. Galípolo confirmed he visited Alexandre de Moraes's cabinet at the STF—not the Central Bank—on multiple occasions during the 2025 Lei Magnitsky systemic crisis, with financial-secrecy obligations limiting what he could disclose publicly. 19. The episode alternates between dry legal analysis and exasperated editorial commentary, with Azevedo frequently pausing to address listeners directly; the tone is adversarial toward all sides. 20. Best suited for Brazilians closely following the STF legitimacy debate, the Lula–Bolsonaro electoral contest, and the fallout from Banco Master's liquidation; likely to frustrate listeners seeking clear partisan alignment.
