Brazil Senator Demands Arrest of Federal Police Chief Over Alleged Illegal Monitoring

Senator Carlos Viana (PSD-MG) has formally requested the arrest of Andrei Rodrigues, Director-General of the Federal Police, citing alleged illegal surveillance of Supreme Court Minister André Mendonça. The move escalates political tensions between the Senate and the PF leadership, though the claim remains unverified and likely faces legal hurdles. This development signals growing friction between Brazil's political class and law enforcement institutions.
