Brazil's Supreme Court on Tuesday (Sept. 15) began examining one of its top justice's ties to a jailed banker, in an unprecedented crisis that has eclipsed the country's presidential election campaign. Alexandre de Moraes, considered one of the most powerful figures in Brazil, led the coup trial which convicted former president Jair Bolsonaro in 2025, and is now in the spotlight in the crisis linked to a fraud case which has rattled the corridors of power. The 57-year-old justice was present for the plenary session which was being broadcast live on television. Court President Edson Fachin said the 10 justices had the duty of guiding the institution through a difficult period in its history. "The country looks to this court. History, too, will look upon this moment," he said, urging justices to "maintain balance" and distinguish "legal controversy from personal dispute." The crisis facing Brazil's highest court is one of many erupting from a scandal around a once little-known banker whose arrest last year for fraud has unveiled a web of questionable ties that has ensnared judges, lawmakers and even right-wing presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro.

The British government published guidance on Tuesday (Sept. 15) for companies and individuals conducting economic activity in the Falkland Islands or supplying goods and services to the archipelago, offering assistance to those who receive correspondence or threats of legal action from the Argentine authorities. The document was produced by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office together with the department the publication itself identifies as the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, and comes nine days after Argentina filed a criminal complaint against five companies linked to the Sea Lion oil project. The guidance applies to three categories: those operating in the islands, those supplying goods or services to them, and those involved directly or indirectly in developing the islands' economy, including the exploitation of natural resources.

Brazilian President Luiz Lula da Silva vowed to protect the country's oil and critical mineral resources from foreign control ahead of October's presidential election. “What is at stake in the October elections is what you want for your country. What future do you want?” he said. He referred to recent developments in Venezuela's oil sector and an agreement between Caracas and Washington over the country's energy resources. “Do you want a country where the oil is ours, or a country where what happened in Venezuela happens?” he said. Lula said Brazil should use its natural resources to develop domestic industry and create jobs rather than simply export raw materials. The issue of critical minerals has gained prominence in Brazil's election campaign as global competition grows over resources used in electric vehicles, renewable energy, electronics and other advanced technologies.

A political operative with ties to Brazil’s Bolsonaro dynasty drafted a proposal for the Rockbridge Network, a group founded by US Vice President JD Vance, pitching a rare earths supply chain stretching from Brazil to the United States. The catch: the document, which bore Senator Flávio Bolsonaro’s logo, tied the minerals initiative to support for Flávio’s presidential campaign ahead of Brazil’s October elections. The proposal was authored by Andre Marinho, a figure associated with the Bolsonaro political family, and dated March 19, 2026. Marinho has confirmed he wrote the presentation but insists it was never actually shared with US officials. Flávio Bolsonaro has been making this argument publicly at political forums throughout 2026, advocating for deeper mineral trade ties with Washington as a counterweight to Beijing’s dominance. But the Marinho document went further than public talking points. It explicitly linked the rare earths supply chain initiative to political support for Flávio’s presidential bid.
