巴西最高法院延後裁定是否調查大法官，案件具高度政治敏感性

巴西利亞，9月15日（路透社）—— 巴西最高法院週二延後決定是否調查院內一名大法官。這起調查涉及一樁政治敏感度極高的銀行貪腐案，相關議題可能延至10月總統大選後才會處理。BRASILIA, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Brazil's Supreme Court on Tuesday postponed a decision on whether to investigate one of its own justices in connection with a politically explosive bank corruption case, possibly deferring the issue until after an October presidential election.

大法官們召開聽證會，審議是否對大法官亞歷山大・德莫賴斯展開調查。德莫賴斯因主導多項調查而在全國聲名大噪；這些調查導致前總統雅伊爾・波索納洛（Jair Bolsonaro）與多名盟友去年因密謀發動政變、企圖推翻2022年選舉結果而遭定罪。The justices held a hearing to consider opening a probe into Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who rose to national prominence by leading investigations that resulted in the convictions of former President Jair Bolsonaro and several allies last year for plotting a coup to reverse 2022 election results.

週二晚間，大法官弗拉維奧・迪諾正式要求更多時間審閱調查請求後，最高法院會議中止，最長可達90天。The Supreme Court session was halted for up to 90 days on Tuesday evening after Justice Flavio Dino formally asked for more time to review the probe request.

這項議題已成為總統大選的爭議焦點。右翼候選人、參議員弗拉維奧・波索納洛（Flavio Bolsonaro）是前總統之子，目前與左翼總統路易斯・伊納西奧・魯拉・達席爾瓦（Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva）選情膠著。魯拉的對手在競選言論中將他與德莫賴斯連結在一起。The issue has become a flashpoint in the presidential election in which right-wing candidate Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the former president's son, is in a tight race against leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Lula's opponents have tied him to Moraes in campaign rhetoric.

要求調查德莫賴斯的呼聲，源自涉及破產放款機構Banco Master銀行的一起案件；該案數月來震撼巴西。The call for an investigation of Moraes is an outgrowth of a case involving failed lender Banco Master that has rattled Brazil for months.

外洩資料顯示，這家銀行遭羈押的業主丹尼爾・沃卡羅（Daniel Vorcaro）擁有龐大的影響力網絡，並讓巴西一些頂層權力掮客陷入尷尬，其中包括參議員波索納洛本人。Leaks revealed that Daniel Vorcaro, the bank's imprisoned owner, had a vast web of influence and embarrassed some of the nation's top power brokers, including Senator Bolsonaro himself.

最高法院大法官安德烈・門東薩兩週前公布一份聯邦警察報告，指稱沃卡羅曾發送多則簡訊給德莫賴斯，內容包括提及一項可能的逃亡計畫。Supreme Court Justice Andre Mendonca released a federal police report two weeks ago alleging that Vorcaro sent several text messages to Moraes including references to a possible escape plan.

德莫賴斯指控由波索納洛任命的門東薩在處理此案時濫用職權；門東薩否認這項指控。Moraes has accused Mendonca, who was appointed by Bolsonaro, of abusing his authority in handling the case, which Mendonca has denied.

根據法院紀錄，德莫賴斯妻子擁有的一家律師事務所，曾與Banco Master銀行簽有一份金額2400萬美元的顧問合約。該銀行已於2025年11月遭巴西央行清算。According to court records, a law firm owned by Moraes' wife had a $24 million consulting contract with Banco Master, which was liquidated by the central bank in November 2025.

週二聽證會前，德莫賴斯表示，相關紀錄是非法取得，且並未顯示任何不法行為。他主張，要求調查他的呼聲帶有政治與選舉動機，是對他在前總統波索納洛定罪案中所扮演角色的報復。Before Tuesday's hearing, Moraes said the records were illegally gathered and did not show any wrongdoing. He argued the calls for him to be investigated were politically and electorally motivated as revenge for his role in convicting former President Bolsonaro.

為試圖控制籠罩最高法院的危機，首席大法官埃德森・法欽（Edson Fachin）上週下令公開與Banco Master銀行案相關的訴訟程序資料；但巴西民眾隨後得知，右翼總統參選人、參議員波索納洛也因涉嫌與該銀行有關的洗錢與貪腐，正在接受調查。Chief Justice Edson Fachin, in an attempt to contain the crisis engulfing the court, last week ordered the unsealing of proceedings related to the Banco Master case, only for Brazilians to learn that Senator Bolsonaro, the right-wing presidential hopeful, was also being investigated over alleged money laundering and corruption linked to the bank.

小波索納洛否認有任何不法行為，並表示他與沃卡羅之間的所有往來都是私人性質，且與沃卡羅出資拍攝一部關於他父親的電影有關。The younger Bolsonaro denied any wrongdoing and said that all dealings he had with Vorcaro were private and related to Vorcaro's role in financing a film about his father.
