Sources: Polymarket prices via the AFOS proxy, and the panel only publishes a price that two independent readings, taken eight minutes apart, confirm within 0.20pp. Confirmation is done contract by contract, and the prices on this page are from the confirmed reading of 25/Oct, 21:22 BRT, and the one for the contract on a Supreme Court justice leaving by impeachment is from the confirmed reading of 25/Oct at 13:39 BRT. Alongside the raw move comes the move normalized by the pair's sum. Polls registered with the TSE, with protocol, pollster, fieldwork, sample and method declared in each entry. First-round result: official TSE final tally, 100% of polling sections. đłď¸ The POLL side of the divergence chart uses ONE national poll, not the average, and always in TOTAL votes: the benchmark is the second-round pair of the most recent national poll that measured it, with ties broken by the largest sample among those that published total votes, which gives VeritĂĄ of 24/Oct, n=15,554, with 46.46% for Lula and 49.44% for FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro, the largest sample among the day's national polls with total votes.

đŻ AFOS Analysis (25/10/2026): Lula stands at 99.85% in the winner contract (cumulative volume USD 42.96M), confirmed reading of 25/Oct, 21:22 BRT, and rises 83.35pp against the confirmed reading of 24/Oct at 20:06 BRT, the last one published for the winner contract. đłď¸ SECOND-ROUND RESULT: in the official TSE partial count of 21:25 BRT on 25/Oct, with 99.86% of polling sections counted, Lula has 51.76% of the valid votes (64,139,700 votes) and FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro 48.24% (59,770,812 votes), with turnout of 80.79% of the electorate, and Lula is re-elected to a fourth term (Poder360, Gazeta do Povo and MetrĂłpoles). In the first round, FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro had finished ahead, by 47.03% to 45.16% of the valid votes, and it is the first time in a Brazilian presidential election that the candidate who trailed in the first round wins the second (Gazeta do Povo and MetrĂłpoles). âď¸ At 17:01 on 25/Oct, Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin granted a request from Lula's coalition and extended voting until 19:00, then clarified that the measure applied only to polling sections that had not yet closed; the TSE's president, Kassio Nunes Marques, instructed the sections still open to operate until 19:00 (Poder360, EstadĂŁo and Gazeta do Povo), and the court resumed releasing results after that time (Folha de S.Paulo and O Globo). đ On the eve, the last three national polls had FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro ahead: VeritĂĄ, with 15,554 interviews from 19 to 23/Oct, by 49.44% to 46.46% in total votes; Futura/100% Cidades, with 2,000 interviews, by 48.2% to 47.9% in total votes; and PoderData/Aya, released on 25/Oct, by 51% to 49% in valid votes.

After the promulgation, Lula said the 6x1 work schedule will return if FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro wins the election (O Globo and Valor), and on 13/Oct he announced Prospera MEI, with forgiveness of individual microentrepreneurs' debts estimated at R$ 12.6 billion (Poder360 and EstadĂŁo). âď¸ On 20/Oct, the Federal Police asked the Supreme Court for more time in the inquiries into alleged influence peddling by FĂĄbio LuĂs Lula da Silva, the president's son, and Justice Edson Fachin is to decide (EstadĂŁo and G1). âď¸ On 23/Oct, the TSE's president, Kassio Nunes Marques, made the transport of Indigenous voters by federal agencies in the second round subject to prior approval by the Electoral Court, trip by trip; on 24/Oct, after the Prosecutor General, Paulo Gonet, asked the Supreme Court to suspend that requirement, he reconsidered and simplified the clearance, which no longer depends on reviewing each trip separately (EstadĂŁo, O Globo and AgĂŞncia Brasil). â The panel does not attribute the price to the polls or to the campaign agenda: it measures the sides with each one's timestamp.

FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's defense says the relationship between the two is limited to a friendship between the families and calls false the reports that they shared a bank account (Gazeta do Povo). On 20/Oct, a technical note from the Finance Ministry named Willer Tomaz as the country's largest sports-betting gambler in 2025, with R$ 5 billion wagered (Folha de S.Paulo and O Globo). âď¸ The government leader in Congress, Randolfe Rodrigues, is collecting signatures for a complaint to the Senate Ethics Council that seeks the loss of FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's mandate for breach of decorum, citing his relationship with Daniel Vorcaro; the document has yet to be filed (Folha de S.Paulo and Valor).
Lula at 99.85% in the winner contract (cumulative volume USD 42.96M), confirmed reading of 25/Oct, 21:22 BRT, rises 83.35pp against the confirmed reading of 24/Oct at 20:06 BRT, the last one published for the winner contract. đłď¸ Re-elected with 51.76% of the valid votes in the official TSE tally of 21:25 BRT, with 99.86% of polling sections. đ On the eve, he led Colectta of 24/Oct, with 46.5% against 46% in total votes, and the three Vox Brasil polls conducted after the first round, and trailed in VeritĂĄ, Futura/100% Cidades and PoderData/Aya. On 22/Oct, Lula and FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro signed at the TSE a document authorizing the lifting of their bank, tax and phone secrecy, and on 23/Oct the two campaigns delivered the authorizations, without disclosing the data (UOL and O Globo). On 24/Oct, the Electoral Prosecutor General's Office argued for dismissing the case on lifting the secrecy, on the view that it is not for the Electoral Court to decide on the disclosure (Gazeta do Povo, Folha de S.Paulo, EstadĂŁo and G1). After the promulgation, Lula said the 6x1 work schedule will return if FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro wins the election (O Globo and Valor), and on 13/Oct he announced Prospera MEI, with forgiveness of individual microentrepreneurs' debts estimated at R$ 12.6 billion (Poder360 and EstadĂŁo). âď¸ On 20/Oct, the Federal Police asked the Supreme Court for more time in the inquiries into alleged influence peddling by FĂĄbio LuĂs Lula da Silva, the president's son, and Justice Edson Fachin is to decide (EstadĂŁo and G1).
đĽ The names eliminated in the first round added up to 7.81% of the valid votes. Augusto Cury (2.89%), Ronaldo Caiado (2.18%) and Romeu Zema (0.27%) declared support for FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro, and Renan Santos (2.24%) still backs no one. The voters of Augusto Cury, who declared support for FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro on 08/Oct, go to him by 56% to 27% in PoderData/Aya of 13/Oct and by 50% to 29% in Ipespe of 10/Oct, and to Lula by 50.4% to 38.9% in AtlasIntel of 09/Oct. Among Ronaldo Caiado's voters, all three point to FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro. đ Counting the closed contracts, the highest cumulative volume in the presidential book is now FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's, USD 56.18M, ahead of Lula's, USD 42.96M, and Renan Santos's, which closed at USD 17.12M.
đ Prices from the confirmed reading of 25/Oct, 21:22 BRT (00:22 UTC). AFOS only publishes a price that two independent readings, eight minutes apart, confirm within 0.20pp, contract by contract, and the one for the contract on a Supreme Court justice leaving by impeachment is from the confirmed reading of 25/Oct at 13:39 BRT. The contracts Polymarket closed after the first round, those of the eliminated names and of the second-place, third-place and Senate books, drop out of the confirmation because they no longer have a traded price. Volume is cumulative since each contract opened. âď¸ Alongside the raw move comes the move normalized by the pair's sum, because the sum of prices moves on its own. The poll side of the divergence chart is the second-round Lula Ă FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro pair, in a single national poll and not the average, and always in total votes: today it is VeritĂĄ of 24/Oct, n=15,554, with 46.46% for Lula and 49.44% for FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro, the largest sample among the day's national polls with total votes. The TSE tally continues until 100% of polling sections.
INSS Scandal and the Lulinha Case
â Logic âđ Analysis updated: 25/10/2026, 21:22 BRT
đş In decisions released on 07/Oct, the TSE president, Kassio Nunes Marques, kept online videos from FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's campaign that associate Lula with Alexandre de Moraes and Lulinha with the so-called Careca do INSS, and denied the Lula campaign's requests for removal and for a right of reply (G1 and Gazeta do Povo). đłď¸ IN THE 04/Oct BALLOT COUNT, POLITICIANS LINKED TO THE INSS FRAUD WERE NOT RE-ELECTED, according to Folha de S.Paulo and O Globo, which note the contrast with those involved in the Master case, several of whom were elected. âď¸ On 25/Sep Edson Fachin gave the Prosecutor General's Office five days to weigh in on the pending requests in the INSS and Master case investigations, among them requests to review or revoke detentions (Gazeta do Povo, G1 and EstadĂŁo); the deadline expired on 30/Sep, and the decision on the requests is his.
â ď¸ WHAT SITS OUTSIDE THE GOVERNMENT'S COUNT HAS A FIGURE, AND IT IS STILL THE ONE FROM 03/Sep. Requests delayed beyond 45 days totalled 261 thousand in August, against 1.88 million requests in the full queue. The page keeps the previous figure because there was no new measurement, and it does not estimate.
The definition the government uses, given by the Social Security minister and quoted by MetrĂłpoles on 03/Sep, is that clearing the queue means analysing faster than the legal deadline of 45 days, not having no request under analysis. The two sentences describe different realities, and the distinction belongs to the vocabulary rather than to the measurement.
đ ALSO ON 25/Sep, FOLHA DE S.PAULO REPORTS THAT THE DEFENCE OF A FORMER INSS PRESIDENT TURNED TO THE PRESIDENCY OF THE SUPREME COURT against a detention that has lasted more than 300 days; the act has a single source and is included here with attribution. âď¸ The personal link between the INSS and the Master case recorded on 24/Sep remains the same: the plane FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro travelled on in 2025, linked to Daniel Vorcaro and to a lawyer under investigation in the INSS fraud case, and which the senator says belongs to a lawyer friend.
This panel's approval benchmark is Quaest, and its 03/Oct round (BR-02197/2026) measures 44% approval against 49% disapproval. â ď¸ Palver of 03/Oct measures 43% against 56%, according to Exame. Pollsters ask in different ways, and the panel does not add one to another.
Within Quaest itself the approval and disapproval series is this: 48% against 47% on 05/Aug, 46% against 48% on 14/Aug, 45% against 48% on 02/Sep, 43% against 50% on 07/Sep, 43% against 50% on 14/Sep, 44% against 50% on 21/Sep, 46% against 49% on 28/Sep and 44% against 49% on 03/Oct. Approval falls 2 points after two rounds of increase, within the margin of 2pp. â In the same round's assessment the negative is at 42%, the positive at 33% and the fair rating at 23% (Money Times). These are two different questions and they do not add up.
đ On 01/Oct Lula signed a legal opinion that guarantees victims of domestic violence up to six months of leave with pay covered by the INSS (Gazeta do Povo, G1 and Valor). It is a benefit measure, not an act on the queue or on the investigation of the frauds. The five-day deadline that Edson Fachin opened on 25/Sep for the Prosecutor General's Office to give its opinion on the pending requests in the INSS and Master case investigations expired on 30/Sep. In the polls, government approval ranges from 44.1% in Futura to 49% in Ideia among the national polls of 30/Sep and 01/Oct.
Impact of the Banco Master Scandal
â Logic âđ Analysis updated: 25/10/2026, 21:22 BRT
âď¸ ON 25/Sep THE FEDERAL PROSECUTION SERVICE'S SUPERIOR COUNCIL KEPT THE PROSECUTOR-GENERAL, PAULO GONET, ON THE MASTER CASE PROCEEDINGS AND SHELVED THE REQUEST TO INVESTIGATE HIS CONDUCT. Against his removal the vote was 9-0. On the inquiry, which stood at 4-3 in favour of opening it with two votes still to be cast, the result was 5-4 for shelving, and the last vote was cast by the council's vice-president, Nicolao Dino, who was chairing the session because the proceeding involved Gonet himself (G1, Gazeta do Povo and O Globo). The rapporteur, Francisco Sanseverino, pointed out that the messages from Daniel Vorcaro's phone do not prove direct contact with the prosecutor-general, and the four defeated council members argued for appointing a deputy prosecutor-general to take the inquiry further, according to G1.
đ¸ ESTADĂO, ON 25/Sep, AND VEJA, ON 26/Sep, REPORT THAT DANIEL VORCARO ATTENDED, ON JANUARY 31, 2024, A LUNCH HOSTED BY GRUPO ESFERA IN HONOR OF GONET, in BrasĂlia, with about 40 guests, which Gilmar Mendes also attended. VEJA publishes the banker's message from that day: "I'll be at the Esfera lunch with Gonet. Gilmar should be there". Gonet says he had no friendship with Vorcaro, and the banker's defense says it rejects the selective disclosure of private conversations. đ The five-day deadline that Edson Fachin gave on 25/Sep for the Prosecutor General's Office to weigh in on the pending requests in the case, among them those linked to the detentions of Henrique Vorcaro, Felipe Vorcaro, Fabiano Zettel and Daniel Lopes Monteiro, expired on 30/Sep.
â ď¸ This page's price for the contract on a Supreme Court justice leaving by impeachment before 2027 stands at 2.80%, with cumulative volume USD 0.10M, confirmed reading of 25/Oct, 13:39 BRT, 0.05pp above the confirmed reading of 24/Oct at 17:21 BRT; this update publishes no new price for it. AFOS does not attribute this contract's price to the news flow on the case: it measures the two side by side, with each one's timestamps. đ According to EstadĂŁo and Folha de S.Paulo on 08/Oct, Gabriel GalĂpolo reported to the Federal Police unjustified delays by Central Bank staff in the supervision of Master, and Daniel Vorcaro's defence asked Edson Fachin to send his request for release to AndrĂŠ Mendonça (O Globo, G1 and EstadĂŁo).
đ đłď¸ AT THE BALLOT BOX, THE CASE SPLIT: EstadĂŁo counts 13 politicians linked to Daniel Vorcaro elected on 04/Oct and notes the defeats of Ciro Nogueira and ACM Neto, and Folha de S.Paulo and O Globo note that people involved in the case were elected. The case moved on 25/Sep through two procedural acts, not decisions on the merits: the Federal Prosecution Service's Superior Council kept Paulo Gonet on the proceedings by 9 to 0 and shelved by 5 to 4 the request to investigate his conduct, and Edson Fachin asked the Prosecutor General's Office for an opinion within five days on the pending requests. On 28/Sep, according to G1, Gilmar Mendes adjusted his vote in the ruling on whether Alexandre de Moraes should be investigated, so that it stays suspended until all the judges cited in the investigations are identified; the ruling has been stalled since 15/Sep by FlĂĄvio Dino's request for further review. The request to revoke Daniel Vorcaro's detention has been with Fachin since 18/Sep, undecided. âď¸ On 02/Oct Edson Fachin created a rule to prevent requests from being directed to chosen justices (G1, Folha de S.Paulo and Gazeta do Povo) and requested a meeting with the director-general of the Federal Police about the mentions of justices in the Master case (Gazeta do Povo and O Globo).
STF Credibility, Electoral Impact
â Logic âđ Analysis updated: 25/10/2026, 21:22 BRT
Probability of STF justice impeachment by 2027 (Polymarket)
Justices under pressure:
He is the justice with the highest rejection in the AtlasIntel poll in partnership with Estadão released on 23/Sep, a survey separate from the electoral one, with 1,852 adults interviewed between 17 and 21/Sep and a 2.0pp margin. On 24/Sep Folha de S.Paulo reports that he voted to remove an opponent of Davi Alcolumbre from the Amapå election and that AndrÊ Mendonça interrupted the ruling; the act has a single source and is recorded here as attributed. He remains the target of the impeachment request filed by Renan Santos and of the inquiry committee request by Alessandro Vieira.
âď¸ On 08/Oct, Alexandre de Moraes declared the final judgment (no further appeal) in the case against Eduardo Bolsonaro for coercion in the course of proceedings and ordered the start of his 4 years and 2 months sentence in an initial semi-open regime, with his name in the national arrest warrant database, the cancellation of his passports and the suspension of his political rights (Gazeta do Povo, O Globo, EstadĂŁo and Valor). Eduardo Bolsonaro lives in the United States and called the decision arbitrary (Gazeta do Povo and VEJA), and FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro called on Moraes to resign (EstadĂŁo and O Globo). âď¸ On 06/Oct he requested an opinion from the Office of the Prosecutor-General on FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's new request to visit his father, Jair Bolsonaro (Gazeta do Povo and Poder360). The ruling opened on 15/Sep on whether he should be investigated over his relationship with Daniel Vorcaro still has no date, suspended by a request for further review by FlĂĄvio Dino. On 28/Sep, according to G1, Gilmar Mendes adjusted his vote in that ruling so that it stays suspended until all the judges cited in the investigations are identified, and proposed internal inquiries; the account comes from a single media group and is included here with attribution. On 25/Sep AndrĂŠ Mendonça's filing on the report he used regarding that justice joined the list of pending requests that Edson Fachin sent to the Office of the Prosecutor-General, with a five day deadline. âď¸ On the same day he was the rapporteur of the criminal case in which the Supreme Court convicted former congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, 7-3, to one year of detention in an initially open regime for defamation against congresswoman Tabata Amaral.
đş On 01/Oct he ordered TV Globo to include Renan Santos in the presidential debate, at the request of Solidariedade, after Kassio Nunes Marques and CĂĄrmen LĂşcia denied the candidate's requests; the broadcaster cancelled the debate the same night (Gazeta do Povo and Folha de S.Paulo). On 28/Sep, according to G1, he adjusted his vote in the ruling on whether Alexandre de Moraes should be investigated, so that it stays suspended until all the judges cited in the Master case investigations are identified, and criticized AndrĂŠ Mendonça's handling of the case; the report comes from a single media group and is included here with attribution. âď¸ On 24/Sep he took to the full bench of the Supreme Court a dispute over power plant court-ordered debts (precatĂłrios) with an estimated impact of R$ 103 billion, after messages from Daniel Vorcaro's phone showed interest in the vote of one justice in that case (O Globo, G1 and Gazeta do Povo). đ¸ EstadĂŁo and VEJA report that he was at the Grupo Esfera lunch in honour of Paulo Gonet, on January 31, 2024, which Vorcaro attended, and on 26/Sep he publicly defended Gonet after the shelving (O Globo, Valor and EstadĂŁo).
âď¸ On 27/Sep, in a single-justice ruling on a complaint, he overturned AndrĂŠ Mendonça's order at the TSE that required deleting a post by comedian Antonio Tabet about Our Lady of Aparecida (Jovem Pan and Brasil 247), a decision that Luiz Fux suspended on the night of 28/Sep (G1 and Folha de S.Paulo). After the TSE full court released Tabet's post on 30/Sep, on 01/Oct he declared the case moot and closed the action (Gazeta do Povo and Valor). On the same day Edson Fachin denied FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's request to remove him from the cases linked to the senator, to Lula and to the elections (G1, CartaCapital and Folha de S.Paulo). On 15/Sep he requested more time to review the case in the trial on the investigation of Alexandre de Moraes. On 02/Oct he publicly defended the rulings of the Supreme Court and the TSE on the TV Globo debate and Justice Estela Aranha (Folha de S.Paulo, Valor and EstadĂŁo).
His 76-page filing, submitted on 21/Sep, asks Edson Fachin for the summary dismissal of the inquiry against him and for consideration of opening an investigation into Alexandre de Moraes for abuse of authority. On 25/Sep it joined the list of pending requests that Fachin sent to the Prosecutor General's Office, with a five-day deadline. On 24/Sep his office received FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's request to investigate the relationship between Lula and Daniel Vorcaro, and on 25/Sep Folha de S.Paulo reports that he keeps under seal the Master case proceeding in which he denied an operation against ClĂĄudio Castro; the report has a single source and is included with attribution. đłď¸ Also on 25/Sep he ordered social networks to take down more than a thousand posts carrying the false story that FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro would strip Our Lady of Aparecida of the title of patron saint of Brazil (Gazeta do Povo, Folha de S.Paulo and CartaCapital), and in the criminal case against Eduardo Bolsonaro he voted for acquittal, outvoted along with Luiz Fux and Nunes Marques. âď¸ On 30/Sep, at the TSE full court, he adjusted his vote to release Antonio Tabet's post and the cases of reasonable doubt, and the court upheld the removal of the posts that attributed to FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro the plan to strip the title of patron saint (Gazeta do Povo and G1).
đď¸ Edson Fachin received on 06/Oct FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's campaign coordinator, RogĂŠrio Marinho, and the Lula government's leader in the Senate (O Globo, CartaCapital and EstadĂŁo); Marinho said there will be no revenge against the Supreme Court, but that the Senate will not stand aside (EstadĂŁo, Gazeta do Povo and MetrĂłpoles). âď¸ ON 02/Oct HE CREATED a rule to prevent requests from being directed to chosen justices (G1, Folha de S.Paulo and Gazeta do Povo) and requested a meeting with the director-general of the Federal Police about the mentions of justices in the Master case (Gazeta do Povo and O Globo). On 01/Oct he denied FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's request to remove FlĂĄvio Dino from the cases linked to the senator, to Lula and to the elections (G1, CartaCapital and Folha de S.Paulo). The five-day deadline he gave on 25/Sep for the Office of the Prosecutor-General to weigh in on the pending requests in the Master case and INSS investigations expired on 30/Sep, and since 18/Sep he has had on his desk the request to revoke Daniel Vorcaro's pre-trial detention.
đŚ STF Ă BANCO MASTER NEXUS
The link with the election is about the calendar and about institutions, not about the result, and there are two recent measurements of different questions, which do not add up. In the Datafolha poll released on 26/Sep, with fieldwork from 22 to 23/Sep, 33% say the conduct of the Supreme Court justices hurts FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's candidacy more and 23% say it hurts Lula's more (G1). In the AtlasIntel poll in partnership with Bloomberg of 23/Sep, 52.3% say the crisis at the Supreme Court hurts Lula's candidacy more and 20.8% say it hurts FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's more. One question is about the conduct of the justices and the other about the crisis, and both pollsters surveyed the same week.
THE CONTRACT ON A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE LEAVING BY IMPEACHMENT BEFORE 2027 STANDS AT 2.80%, with cumulative volume USD 0.10M, confirmed reading of 25/Oct, 13:39 BRT, 0.05pp above the confirmed reading of 24/Oct at 17:21 BRT; this update publishes no new price for it. The price remains far from the series high, 26.10% on 11/Sep. âď¸ On 18/Oct, EstadĂŁo reported, and Folha de S.Paulo and G1 confirmed, that the Federal Police (PF) took to the Supreme Court an investigation into suspected money laundering involving the lawyer Willer Tomaz, his companies and FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro, with Alexandre de Moraes drawn as rapporteur (G1 and Gazeta do Povo). On 23/Oct, Moraes authorized lifting the secrecy of the offshore company Alcazar Holdings, owned by Willer Tomaz, and ordered the freezing of up to R$ 6 billion of the lawyer's assets (Gazeta do Povo, O Globo and Folha de S.Paulo). FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro's defense says the relationship between the two is limited to a friendship between the families and calls false the reports that they shared a bank account (Gazeta do Povo). On 20/Oct, a technical note from the Finance Ministry named Willer Tomaz as the country's largest sports-betting gambler in 2025, with R$ 5 billion wagered (Folha de S.Paulo and O Globo). âď¸ On 20/Oct, the Federal Police asked the Supreme Court for more time in the inquiries into alleged influence peddling by FĂĄbio LuĂs Lula da Silva, the president's son, and Justice Edson Fachin is to decide (EstadĂŁo and G1). âď¸ On 23/Oct, the TSE's president, Kassio Nunes Marques, made the transport of Indigenous voters by federal agencies in the second round subject to prior approval by the Electoral Court, trip by trip; on 24/Oct, after the Prosecutor General, Paulo Gonet, asked the Supreme Court to suspend that requirement, he reconsidered and simplified the clearance, which no longer depends on reviewing each trip separately (EstadĂŁo, O Globo and AgĂŞncia Brasil). âď¸ On 23/Oct, TSE Justice Floriano de Azevedo Marques ruled that only the full court can suspend the ExĂŠrcito do Lula channel on WhatsApp (AgĂŞncia Brasil and Folha de S.Paulo). In a decision reported on 24/Oct, the TSE barred Nikolas Ferreira and Pablo Marçal from posting false content until the election, under a fine of R$ 100 thousand (Folha de S.Paulo), and ordered Meta and X to submit reports every six hours on the posts of the two (G1, Valor and O Globo). âď¸ On 13/Oct, Justice Edson Fachin told the Federal Police (PF) director general, Andrei Rodrigues, that mentions of Supreme Court justices in the Banco Master investigation must go to the court in a strictly descriptive manner (G1 and Gazeta do Povo). đď¸ Folha de S.Paulo counts 50 elected senators in favour of impeaching Supreme Court justices, below the 54 votes required. â The panel does not link the contract's price to the day's acts: it measures both with each one's timestamp.
