News Official statement Context piece
  • Brazil’s Solicitor General’s Office rejected a Federal Police request that it bring a legal action against Supreme Court Justice André Mendonça.
  • The AGU described the request as an unprecedented procedural intervention and said it found no justification for the measure.

Brazil’s Solicitor General’s Office called the Federal Police’s attempt to have it file a case against Supreme Court Justice André Mendonça an “unprecedented procedural intervention.”

In a statement issued Friday, the AGU said it had not identified a justification for the measure. The request involved the federal police asking the office to take legal action against the justice.

The AGU’s response rejects the basis of the police initiative and marks its position on a dispute involving two of Brazil’s central institutions, the Federal Police and the Supreme Court.
