Brazil's Supreme Court closed early as political turmoil intensified, with justices publicly exchanging accusations after one member was implicated in a bank scandal tied to Banco Master. The unusual shutdown reflects escalating institutional friction within the country's top judicial body. As the court unseals files related to the Banco Master corruption scandal, a new investigation has emerged targeting Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, just weeks before Brazil's election. The widening probe adds a fresh political dimension to the crisis, drawing a prominent political family into the scandal and intensifying scrutiny of the judiciary's handling of the affair.
