The President of Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF), Justice Edson Fachin, intervened late Wednesday to halt an institutional crisis, suspending conflicting judicial orders from two fellow justices that had thrown the leadership of the Federal Police (PF) into confusion. Fachin's decision effectively ended a brief but intense "war of injunctions" by suspending the unilateral rulings from Justices André Mendonça and Flávio Dino over the tenure of Federal Police Director-General Andrei Rodrigues, while also maintaining Rodrigues in his post. The move keeps the status quo and centralizes the politically charged matter under the full bench, known as the Plenário, for a definitive ruling.
