El juez del Supremo Tribunal Federal de Brasil, Andre Mendonca, ordenó el martes la destitución cautelar del director general de la Policía Federal, Andrei Passos Rodrigues, y del director de inteligencia, Leandro Almada da Costa, alegando que la rama de inteligencia de la fuerza lo había vigilado durante más de treinta días. Mendonca dijo que unidades policiales produjeron al menos seis informes de inteligencia sobre él entre el 3 y el 31 de agosto.
La Segunda Sala del Supremo formó una mayoría de 3 a 0 el mismo día para confirmar la destitución, y el gobierno dijo que apelaría. La orden se produjo en medio de una turbulencia más amplia dentro del máximo tribunal de Brasil: el juez Alexandre de Moraes ha enfrentado por separado presiones para renunciar por presuntos vínculos con Daniel Vorcaro, un banquero en el centro del colapso de un banco, después de que documentos de la Policía Federal hechos públicos mostraran que Vorcaro buscó repetidamente consejo de alguien que las autoridades identificaron como de Moraes.
