Andrei Rodrigues denies illegal monitoring of Supreme Court ministers
Federal Police Director-General Andrei Rodrigues has submitted a formal defense to Supreme Federal Court President Edson Fachin, denying allegations of illegal monitoring of Supreme Court Minister André Mendonça and the Attorney General. Rodrigues asserts that the intelligence reports in question were produced in strict compliance with judicial orders issued by Minister Alexandre de Moraes and were purely informative rather than part of a criminal investigation.
The controversy follows a decision by Minister Mendonça to preventively remove Rodrigues and Intelligence Director Leandro Almada from their posts, citing irregularities in report production. Both officials were subsequently reinstated following a request from the Attorney General's Office (AGU), which argued that the appointment of the Federal Police director is a presidential prerogative.
In a related development, Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet has requested that all Supreme Court ministers be granted full access to data extracted from the phone of Daniel Vorcaro, a former controller of Banco Master, to ensure parity and transparency in ongoing judicial analyses.
