Fachin and Federal Police director meet amid tensions with Justice André Mendonça

cbn31 August 2026 at 18:40

Supreme Federal Court President, Justice Edson Fachin, met on Monday (31st) with the director-general of the Federal Police, Andrei Rodrigues, at the National Justice Council. The meeting focused on "information security in the justice system" and was attended by the CNJ Secretary-General, Clara Mota, and the coordinator of the Department of Information and Communication Technology, João Felipe Lopes.

The meeting occurs amid a moment of tensions between the Federal Police leadership and Justice André Mendonça, also of the STF. The encounter was marked by the existing friction between the two institutions.

Justice Mendonça is the rapporteur of investigations considered sensitive at the court, including the Banco Master case, INSS, and the investigations involving Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, known as Lulinha. Some recent decisions by Mendonça have caused discomfort at the Federal Police leadership.

The Lula government reserved R$ 44.8 billion for parliamentary amendments in the 2027 Annual Budget Bill (PLOA), an increase of R$ 4 billion compared to the proposal for 2026. The amount is expected to be higher after Congressional approval, since in 2026, R$ 40.8 billion was reserved, but the approved amount reached R$ 50 billion. Mandatory amendments are those the government is obligated to pay, while non-mandatory ones depend on available space in the Budget. There are three types of amendments: individual, from state delegations, and from committees, each with its own rules for distribution and application.
