Crisis explodes at Federal Police: leadership puts positions at disposal after removals

Notícias de Coimbra8 September 2026 at 20:00

The leadership of Brazil's Federal Police put their positions at disposal after the Supreme Federal Court (STF) removed members of the institution. The crisis at the PF gained strength with this decision by the high leadership to collectively offer their positions.

The Supreme Federal Court made the decision to remove agents from the Federal Police, which generated an unprecedented institutional crisis at the corporation. The removals ordered by the country's highest court provoked an immediate reaction from the PF's leadership.

The institution's leadership collectively decided to put their positions at disposal as a way to demonstrate dissatisfaction with the STF's decisions. This attitude represents an extreme measure within the hierarchy of the Brazilian federal police force.
