Second Chamber of the STF to Analyze on Tuesday Decision by Mendonça Removing Andrei Rodrigues from PF Leadership

oglobo8 September 2026 at 13:09

The Second Chamber of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) will analyze in session on Tuesday the decision by Minister André Mendonça that determined the removal of the director-general of the Federal Police, Andrei Rodrigues. The Second Chamber is composed of Ministers Luiz Fux, who chairs the panel, Gilmar Mendes, Dias Toffoli, Nunes Marques, and by Mendonça himself, rapporteur of the case.

Mendonça stated having been the target of systematic and illegal monitoring carried out by the intelligence area of the Federal Police for more than a month. The minister listed six reports produced between August 3 and 31 that contained analyses of his performance and his relationship with the Attorney General, Jorge Messias.

In the decision analyzing intelligence documents produced within the PF, Mendonça argues that the material reveals the carrying out of monitoring and directed collection of information about both him and Messias. Based on these findings, the minister determined the removal of Andrei Rodrigues from the position of director-general of the Federal Police.
