> That's not the case. The STF never accuses, they only judge. Accusations come from other institutions. The Supreme Court then orders investigations and act as judges.

That's not true for some of the cases referred here though. For matters that the court deems related to attacks on the Supreme Court or democracy, Moraes can act essentially as both prosecutor and judge.

I'm not arguing if this is good or bad. Some people argue this is good, some that it is bad, but it is a fact.

Not doubting you, I could certainly have missed something. Do you have references to which cases those are?

I ask because I haven’t heard of it. I have seen cases where arrests have been ordered pending investigation, but that’s a completely different matter.
