Brazil's Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI) on Organized Crime rejected Senator Alessandro Vieira's (MDB-SE) final report on Tuesday (April 14), which proposed indicting three Supreme Federal Court (STF) justices and the Attorney General. The report was defeated 6-4 after changes in the commission's composition. The substitutions favored government-aligned members, swaying the vote outcome.
Brazil's CPI on Organized Crime rejected Alessandro Vieira's report 6-4. The document proposed indicting STF justices Alexandre de Moraes, Dias Toffoli, and Gilmar Mendes, as well as Attorney General Paulo Gonet, for responsibility crimes linked to Banco Master. Vieira claimed Moraes and Toffoli acted incompatibly with their roles due to bank ties, Mendes suspended secrecy breaks to protect colleagues, and Gonet failed to investigate.
Composition changes directly impacted the outcome. Senators Sergio Moro (PL-PR) and Marcos do Val (Avante-ES), who favored the report, were replaced by Beto Faro (PT-PA) and Teresa Leitão (PT-PE). Soraya Thronicke (PSB-MS) became titular replacing Jorge Kajuru (PSB-GO). Against: Leitão, Faro, Soraya, Humberto Costa (PT-CE), Rogério Carvalho (PT-SE), Otto Alencar (PSD-BA). For: Vieira, Eduardo Girão (Novo-CE), Magno Malta (PL-ES), Esperidião Amin (PP-SC).
Articulation involved the Lula government, Senate President Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil-AP), and the STF. STF President Edson Fachin issued a note repudiating the ministers' inclusion as a 'deviation of purpose' from the CPI, originally created to probe organized crime after a deadly Rio police action.
Vieira defended the report's technical focus, which also proposed recreating the Public Security Ministry and Rio intervention. With rejection, the text loses legal validity.
