The federal government announced in the early hours of Tuesday (28) lawyer André Luiz Mendonça as the new Minister of Justice. It was also confirmed that Alexandre Ramagem, current director of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin), will be the director general of the Federal Police (PF). Both are close friends of the Bolsonaro family.
The vacancies in the Ministry of Justice and in command of the PF remained open after the departure of former Minister Sergio Moro and former Director General Maurício Valeixo. Moro decided to leave the government after Bolsonaro dismissed Valeixo. The former minister affirmed that the president tries to interfere politically in the FP, which Bolsonaro denies.
José Levi Mello do Amaral Júnior was appointed to the position of Attorney General of the Union.

Alexandre Ramagem is the new director general of the Federal Police
The PF is investigating, at the request of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), a false news plan against court ministers and the case of parliamentarians suspected of supporting undemocratic acts, which preach military intervention.
In the corridors of the Planalto Palace, as the Fantastic report showed, there is fear that the two consultations could reach two of Bolsonaro’s sons: the Rio de Janeiro councilman, Carlos Bolsonaro (republicans) and the deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL-SP).
The rapporteur of the investigations, the minister Alexandre de Moraes, determined that the delegates at the head of these investigations remain in office, after Moro denounced that one of the reasons why Bolsonaro changed the PF command is an inconvenience of the president with inquiries.

PF boss is family friend
Ramage, a PF delegate, worked as Bolsonaro’s security guard in the 2018 election campaign (candidates have a right to PF security). From there, he created a close friendship relationship with his family.
Federal deputy Marcelo Freixo (PSOL-RJ) said Saturday that he will file a lawsuit to prevent Ramage from taking office. The deputy recalled that Ramage, in addition to leading Bolsonaro’s security in the 2018 electoral campaign, is also a friend of the president’s children.
