Flávio Dino Reverses Mendonça's Decision and Reinstates Federal Police Directors

Portal O Dia9 September 2026 at 10:57

Supreme Court (STF) Minister Flávio Dino overturned a previous decision made by Minister Mendonça and ordered the immediate reinstatement of Andrei Rodrigues and Leandro Almada to their positions as Federal Police directors. The decision was issued on Wednesday, October 9.

Both directors had been removed from their duties, which also resulted in the suspension of the institution's intelligence activities during the period they were out of office.

With Dino's order, both must return immediately to their positions, restoring the normal functioning of the Federal Police leadership.

The measure represents a complete reversal of the situation that had been imposed previously, restoring the institution's command to how it was before the removal ordered by Mendonça.

The commentator highlights what he considers to be selective hypocrisy of these artists in their condemnation of certain figures while participating in an event associated with Stalinist regimes responsible for millions of deaths.
