STF Minister André Mendonça ruled on Monday (March 23) that the Court's plenary analyze the endorsement of the preliminary injunction extending the INSS CPMI's work. He ordered Senate President Davi Alcolumbre to read the extension request within 48 hours. The decision responds to lawmakers investigating frauds in pension benefits.
Seven months after installation, the INSS CPMI stalls in probing R$4 billion fraud against retirees. The commission appealed to the STF for extension after Congress denial. Figures like Frei Chico and Lulinha remain unclarified.

Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, known as Lulinha and son of President Lula, informed STF Justice André Mendonça via his lawyer that he will return to Brazil to testify in the ongoing Operation Sem Desconto inquiry into INSS discount irregularities. Living in Spain since 2024, Lulinha's offer eliminates any risk of preventive arrest, his defense says.
