The National Association of Federal Police Delegates (ADPF) has formally requested the recusal of Prosecutor General of the Republic (PGR) Paulo Gonet from an investigation concerning a Federal Police report that exposed a deep institutional crisis within Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF). The request injects a new layer of tension into a high-stakes standoff between key judicial and law enforcement institutions, arguing that the country's top prosecutor has a clear conflict of interest. The ADPF claims Gonet should be excluded from the probe because he is mentioned in the very police documents he is now investigating, and his actions inappropriately question the work of Federal Police officers who were simply following a judicial order.
