Flávio Bolsonaro's defense seeks Moraes's removal from investigation

Flávio Bolsonaro's defense has asked Brazil's Supreme Court to declare Justice Alexandre de Moraes barred from overseeing an investigation into the senator, citing Moraes's alleged use of an aircraft linked to the company under scrutiny. The request, sent to court president Edson Fachin, also seeks the case's reassignment to Justice André Mendonça and the revocation of precautionary measures against Flávio, including passport seizures and contact restrictions with lawyer Willer Tomaz. The defense argues Moraes's connection to the plane and his wife's business ties create a conflict of interest. The defense claims Moraes and his wife used a jet owned by Fraction 024, a company connected to Tomaz, and questions the case's distribution, arguing it should follow an INSS fraud investigation. Both Flávio and Tomaz deny any wrongdoing.
