Evidence mentioning Alexandre de Moraes
On April 29, 2020, in MS 37.097 (PDT), Justice Alexandre de Moraes suspended the decree appointing Alexandre Ramagem as PF director-general, pointing to the viability, 'in theory', of misuse of purpose, and cited Moro's public statements and the open inquiry (the express mention of the released messages was not confirmed; text of the decision not opened).

According to Gazeta do Povo (April 12, 2026), the PF delivered to Moraes on April 2, 2026 a new report which, according to the article, analyzed Inq 4781 (fake news) and 4828 (anti-democratic acts) and concludes, for the second time, that Bolsonaro did not interfere in investigations that affected relatives and allies; Moraes kept the inquiry open and sent the report to Gonet.

On March 15, 2019, in ADPF 568 (filed by the PGR; related cases ADPF 569, by PT and PDT, and Rcl 33.667, by the Chamber of Deputies), Alexandre de Moraes suspended the effects of the Agreement on the Assumption of Obligations between Petrobras and prosecutors of the MPF-PR and of the 13th Court decision that approved it, and froze the deposited amounts (US$682.5 million transferred by Petrobras to 'Brazilian authorities' under an agreement with the DOJ), citing the risk of diversion of public money and doubt about the creation of a private foundation to manage them.
