Speaking broadly, you can't have democracy without a balance of powers between the government and the judicial system. Therefore any emerging dictatorship must first limit the powers of the judicial system and/or undermine its independence by appointing their own corrupt puppets in place. When a clash happens between any government and its nation's courts, you can bet all horses that they're after taking absolute power.
Putin did it, Erdogan did it, Lukashenko did it, Orban did it, and at least in the EU other countries are working on it (Italy, Poland).
