Federal Police summons Unafisco president to testify on Moraes' order

The Federal Police has summoned Kleber Cabral, president of Unafisco, to give testimony this Friday, February 20, 2026, following an order from STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The summons comes amid probes into leaks of confidential data from the Receita Federal involving Supreme Court justices. Cabral has publicly criticized the court's decisions on the matter.

The Federal Police (PF) has summoned Kleber Cabral, president of the National Association of Federal Revenue Auditors of Brazil (Unafisco), to testify this Friday (20), on the order of STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The deposition is part of a confidential procedure, according to sources close to Cabral.

Cabral has questioned STF decisions regarding suspicions of data leaks from justices. In interviews, he stated that an involved auditor was hit by a "false positive" and that the case has been handled disproportionately.

The NGO Transparency International responded to the summons on social media: "A union president is targeted by intimidation from a constitutional judge for defending public servants (guilty or not) victims of evident abuse of authority. It is increasingly shocking the authoritarianism emanating from the STF".

Unafisco represents Ricardo Mansano de Moraes, one of four suspected auditors. He is accused of accessing data from an ex-stepdaughter of Minister Gilmar Mendes, daughter of lawyer Guiomar Feitosa. After the operation, Ricardo was removed from a management position in Tax Credit Management and Credit Rights, in Presidente Prudente (SP). His defense notes he is a "professional of impeccable reputation" who has never faced functional misconduct.

On Tuesday (17), the PF executed four search and seizure warrants in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Bahia. The probe, started by a representation from the Attorney General's Office (PGR), investigates illicit accesses to the Receita Federal system and leaks of confidential information from STF ministers, the attorney general, and relatives.

The STF reported "various and multiple illicit accesses," followed by leaks. Unafisco and Sindifisco Nacional voiced concerns over precautionary measures against auditors, stating that "extreme sanctions require robust justification and consistent evidentiary basis".
