Brazil Supreme Court Cancels Sessions Over Justice Dispute

— Sep 10, 2026
Brazil’s Supreme Court canceled consecutive sessions amid a widening Banco Master corruption scandal, with leaked text messages showing potential improper contact between Banco Master head Daniel Vorcaro and Justice Alexandre de Moraes, prompting Moraes to seek a probe and the court to decide on investigating Moraes. The turmoil, intensified by political graft allegations and looming elections, has fractured the bench as allies and opponents trade accusations regarding the judiciary’s integrity.

Nazira Haji Zada, an Afghan woman linked to an ISIS-inspired plot, was deported after the Justice Department used the long-dormant Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the first time. Officials call the outcome a national-security victory, while defense counsel warn that the court’s proceedings threaten due process and constitutional rights.

Most DOJ Protest Cases End Without Felony Convictions

— 6d
The U.S. Justice Department failed to secure felony convictions against the majority of 102 protesters arrested in four major cities last year for assaulting federal authorities, with 12 cases going to trial all ending in acquittals, mistrials, or dismissals. Analysts say rushed investigations and aggressive charging under the Trump era have drawn scrutiny as juries and judges repeatedly rejected the government’s cases, prompting questions about whether such charges should have been pursued at all.

Damascus Airport Plans Stir Mass-Grave Fears

Syria’s plan to turn Mezzeh military airport in Damascus into a private-jet hub has rights groups and locals alarmed that redevelopment could disturb grave sites and undermine private land claims tied to decades of expropriation. Documents obtained by the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre indicate executions and detentions were carried out at Mezzeh during the Assad era, prompting calls to halt construction to preserve evidence while the new authorities weigh investment with historic injustices.

Brazil Probes Flávio Bolsonaro Over Money Laundering
x/fl-vio-bolsonaro
— Sep 11, 2026
Brazilian senator Flávio Bolsonaro is under investigation for alleged corruption and money laundering tied to the failed Banco Master and the financing of a film about his father, Jair Bolsonaro, with authorities unsealing documents earlier this year; Bolsonaro maintains the financing was legal as the election race against Lula da Silva remains tight. The probe, opened in July by Justice Mendonça at the request of the police, involves scrutiny of funding sources and transfers, including connections to a U.S. fund, as prosecutors seek details on the origins of the money behind the project.

Flávio needs to fully disclose the film funding sources, as any ties to a failed bank like Master demand real transparency from a sitting senator.

DOJ Investigates Nvidia Groq Licensing Deal Over Antitrust Evasion

The U.S. Department of Justice is examining whether Nvidia structured its Groq licensing deal to avoid antitrust review, a probe that follows broader regulatory scrutiny of licensing arrangements in the AI chip sector. The roughly $17–20 billion deal, which included executive hires from Groq, is under scrutiny as regulators weigh whether such licenses functionally imitate acquisitions without triggering merger reviews.
