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.
In response to a rejected CPI report proposing his indictment, STF Justice Gilmar Mendes on April 15 requested Attorney General Paulo Gonet investigate Senator Alessandro Vieira for abuse of authority, citing deviation from the commission's organized crime focus.
