Minister Edson Fachin, of the Supreme Federal Court, granted a 72-hour deadline for Minister André Mendonça, also of the Court, to respond to a request from the Office of the Attorney General. The AGU's request seeks the suspension of the removal of a Federal Police director.
The case involves a jurisdictional issue between the two Supreme Court ministers, since Fachin is the one reviewing the case and needs Mendonça's response before making a decision on the AGU's request.
The removal of the Federal Police director was contested by the Office of the Attorney General, which argues that the measure needs to be reviewed by the court. The deadline set by Fachin aims to guarantee the right to adversarial proceedings and full defense in the process.
Fachin's decision demonstrates the collaborative dynamic among the Supreme Federal Court ministers in analyzing cases involving complex administrative and legal issues.
