Brazil STF cancels plenary amid internal crisis over PF director reinstatement

Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) canceled its Wednesday plenary session as a crisis deepens over the removal and reinstatement of Federal Police leadership. Minister Flávio Dino reinstated PF Director-General Andrei Rodrigues and Intelligence Director Leandro Almada, reversing Minister André Mendonça's prior removal order, which was based on PF reports used by Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The institutional conflict within the STF signals potential disruption to ongoing cases and raises uncertainty about judicial stability.

Brazil STF Internal Conflict Escalates Over Fake News Probe and PF Leadership

Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) is experiencing an escalating internal conflict, primarily centered on the 'fake news' investigation and the leadership of the Federal Police (PF). STF President Fachin has removed Justice Moraes from the 'fake news' probe and referred the dispute to the full court, while also reinstating PF Director-General Andrei Rodrigues after a prior suspension. This signals a significant power struggle within the judiciary, with high confidence in the confirmed actions but medium confidence in the underlying motivations and full implications.
