Mendonça removes PF director-general, Andrei Rodrigues

BBC News Brasil8 September 2026 at 13:04

Justice Mendonça removed the federal police director-general, Andrei Rodrigues. The decision was made by the Supreme Federal Court justice, who requested the convening of an extraordinary virtual session of the STF's Second Chamber to ratify the measure today. Andrei Rodrigues's removal represents a direct intervention by the STF in the structure of the Federal Police, an agency linked to the Executive Branch. The extraordinary virtual session was convened specifically so that the other justices of the Second Chamber can analyze and confirm Mendonça's decision. The case involves issues related to the command of the PF and the performance of its top official, who was removed from his duties by court decision.
