The president of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Edson Fachin, decided to withdraw the request for investigation made by Minister Alexandre de Moraes against André Mendonça from the fake news inquiry. The decision was made on Friday.
Fachin also determined that the attorney general of Brazil, Paulo Gonet, and Minister André Mendonça should respond regarding the reports made public by Alexandre de Moraes on Thursday. The reports are intelligence reports from the Federal Police (PF).
Moraes sent to Fachin PF reports that point to alleged irregularities committed by Mendonça in conducting the Compliance Zero and Sem Desconto investigations, which investigate fraud in the financial system and illegal diversion of retirements. In the decision, Moraes states there are strong indications of criminal conduct by Mendonça.
