Andrei silences and number 2 of PF defends the institution

The executive director of the Federal Police, William Marcel Murad, second in the hierarchy of the corporation, came out in defense of the general director, Andrei Rodrigues, on Tuesday (8), after the decision of the minister André Mendonça, of Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), for his removal from office. Andrei was expected to attend the opening ceremony of the training course for new agents in Brasilia, but did not attend the event after the judicial measure. Murad said the institution will not back down under pressure and declared confidence in the current leadership of the PF.

Emphatic defense of the current management

During the solemnity, Murad reinforced the Federal Police’s commitment to legality and the public interest. According to the executive director, the actions of the investigators are “technical, impartial and free of any political bias”. The speech comes at a time of institutional tension, after Minister Mendonça determined the removal of Andrei Rodrigues and another member of the summit. The absence of the director general at the event was noted and commented on behind the scenes.

Murad also stressed that the corporation will not yield to external pressures and that confidence in the management remains unshaken. “Knowing that we work strictly within the law, and are committed exclusively to the public interest, keeps us confident that the truth of the facts, which we tirelessly seek in our investigations, will prevail,” he added. The statement was received with applause by those present, according to reports.

Investigations without political bias

The executive director emphasized that the investigations conducted by the PF follow strictly technical criteria and do not suffer political influence. The statement comes as a direct response to the suspicions raised in the court decision, which pointed to alleged illegality in the production of intelligence reports. Murad did not directly mention the case, but his speech was interpreted as an institutional defense of the corporation’s performance.

The decision of Mendonça also determined that the Board of Directors of the PF should institute administrative-disciplinary procedures against Andrei and Almada and submit to the minister any requests for measures considered necessary. In the decision, he stated that “the superlative gravity and illegality in the production of the ‘intelligence reports’ published by Minister Alexandre de Moraes imposes the adoption of immediate measures.” The source did not detail the content of the reports cited.

Reaction of the Advocacy General of the Union

In the midst of the Mendonça decision, the Advocacia-Geral da União (AGU) intends to appeal alleging violation of the exclusive competence of the President of the Republic. The AGU argues that the removal of PF leaders is the responsibility of the Chief Executive, not the Judiciary. The appeal has not yet been filed, but the intent has been confirmed by government sources. The legal dispute is expected to extend in the coming days.

Meanwhile, the Federal Police continue with their operational activities normally, according to Murad. The institution did not officially rule on the merits of the decision, merely defending the legality of its procedures. The silence of Andrei Rodrigues after the removal was also noted, without there being any public demonstration of the director-general so far.

Institutional impact and next steps

The crisis between the STF and the PF leadership creates uncertainty about the continuity of sensitive investigations underway. Experts heard by the report, who preferred not to identify themselves, assess that the clash may spill into ongoing operations, although the source has not detailed which. The PF’s board of directors will now have the task of establishing the disciplinary procedures determined by the minister, which may lead to further developments.

The outcome of the case will depend on the judgment of the appeal of the AGU and the position of the President of the Republic, which has not yet been publicly expressed. The society closely follows the unfolding of the crisis, which places on opposite sides the Supreme and the main police force of the country. The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to follow the next chapters of this institutional dispute.
