A global frontpage overview for September 16. This 2026 front page of Folha de S.Paulo reports on a massive internal crisis within Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF). The core of the conflict involves a heated session where judges debated whether to investigate Alexandre de Moraes for his alleged connections to a prominent banker. High-ranking justices engaged in verbal confrontations and accusations of corruption, resulting in a judicial deadlock after a formal request for more time delayed the ruling. Beyond the courtroom, the newspaper details how the Lula administration is distancing itself from the scandal while simultaneously forgiving substantial corporate debts related to historical corruption cases. The source portrays a nation facing institutional instability, as business leaders and politicians warn that the court's public fracturing threatens the country's legal security.
