Gilmar Mendes proposes ban on police in STF ministerial offices
Supreme Court Justice Gilmar Mendes has formally proposed a regimental amendment to prohibit the appointment or secondment of military and police personnel to commissioned positions within the offices of Supreme Federal Court (STF) ministers. The proposal targets members of the Armed Forces and various police careers, including Federal, Civil, Military, and Penal police.
The amendment includes an exception for personnel assigned exclusively to court security duties. However, these individuals would be strictly barred from participating in the instruction of inquiries or judicial processes and from performing legal advisory roles. If the measure is approved, STF President Edson Fachin would be responsible for the immediate return of affected staff to their original agencies.
The initiative arrives amid heightened institutional tension between ministers Alexandre de Moraes and André Mendonça. The debate has been fueled by recent controversies involving the disclosure of communications between former banker Daniel Vorcaro and Justice Moraes, as well as investigations into Banco Master and INSS. Currently, several Federal Police delegates are seconded to the STF, with two serving in Mendonça’s office and two in Moraes’s office. The proposal must now undergo review by the court’s Regimental Commission before being analyzed in an administrative session.
