How the Federal Police Views the STF Crisis that 'Swallowed' the Corporation

BBC News Brasil8 September 2026 at 21:28

Federal Police delegates heard by BBC News Brasil expressed concern about a crisis involving the Supreme Court (STF) that, according to them, ended up harming the corporation itself. The dispute between ministers André Mendonça and Alexandre de Moraes is pointed out as the center of this institutional conflict.

The delegates fear that this dispute will weaken the Federal Police as an institution. Additionally, there is concern that the crisis could directly affect the careers of corporation members, compromising the work and professional trajectory of several police officers.

Another point of alert is the impact on the PF's institutional autonomy. The delegates believe that the effects of this conflict could be lasting, compromising the institution's independence and establishing negative precedents for the corporation's future.

The situation reflects broader tensions between different branches and institutions in the Brazilian political landscape, with the Federal Police being dragged into a dispute that transcends its traditional duties.
