Federal Police report used by Moraes to accuse Mendonça ignores rules and prevents identification of authorship

A digitized document, without date, letterhead or signature, comprising 50 pages and six intelligence reports, is at the center of the confrontation between ministers André Mendonça and Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court (STF). The reports formed the basis for both Moraes' decision that pointed to crimes of responsibility, administrative improbity and abuse of authority by his colleague, and Mendonça's order to remove the Federal Police Director-General, Andrei Rodrigues. PF members, heard on condition of anonymity, say this type of report, which conducts scenario analysis, is usually prepared by the Police Intelligence Directorate (DIP) to guide the corporation's leadership decisions, but is intended for internal circulation and restricted dissemination. The crisis led to the formation of a majority in the STF's Second Panel to uphold Mendonça's decision that removed the PF chief. The report used by Moraes to accuse Mendonça ignores internal norms of the corporation and prevents the identification of authorship, according to the article.
