Mendonça defends maintaining the removal of Federal Police director-general Andrei Rodrigues

Minister André Mendonça, of the Supreme Federal Court, defended maintaining the removal of the Federal Police director-general, Andrei Rodrigues, and the Police Intelligence director, Leandro Almada. The statement was filed after Rodrigues presented clarifications to the STF regarding the accusations of investigating authorities, defending the legality of his actions. Mendonça stated that the measure does not encroach on the president's competence to appoint and dismiss members of the PF leadership, highlighting that the Supreme Court has jurisprudence that allows the precautionary removal of public servants.
