The leadership of Brazil's Federal Police put their positions at disposal after the Supreme Federal Court removed today the chief of the corporation. The decision represents an escalation in the crisis affecting the institution.
The removal of the delegate who commanded the PF was determined by the STF, the highest court of the Brazilian Judiciary. The measure occurs in the context of an unprecedented conflict involving judges of the police institution itself.
The crisis puts in check the relationship between the Federal Police and the Supreme Federal Court, two fundamental institutions for the country's justice and security system. The episode promises to generate political and institutional developments in the coming days.
