Brazilian Federal Police delegates asked the attorney general on Saturday to recuse himself from an investigation into a police report in which he is mentioned. The recusal request was made specifically in relation to this investigation.
The police report in question is linked to a scandal that triggered a crisis at the Supreme Federal Court. The case involves issues that caused instability at the highest court in the Brazilian judiciary.
The delegates' request to the attorney general indicates there is a potential conflict of interest in the conduct of the investigations, since he himself appears as mentioned in the police document under investigation.
