Márcio Schiefler Fontes is a Brazilian judge and jurist. From a judicial career in Santa Catarina, he became auxiliary judge and the main assistant to Justice Teori Zavascki,[1] who oversaw at the Supreme Federal Court the massive investigation known as Operation Car Wash, a landmark anti-corruption probe in Brazil and other Latin American countries,[2] until the latter's death in a plane crash in 2017.[3]

After that, the Supreme Federal Court decided to nominate him Councillor of the National Council of Justice, in which he served as supervisor to the national prison system.[4]

In 2022, he was summoned to act as auxiliary judge to the then new Chief Justice of the Supreme Federal Court, Justice Rosa Weber,[5] in whose tenure a mob stormed the Presidential offices, the Supreme Court building, and the National Congress in Brazil’s capital, Brasilia.[6]
