Overview

  • Senator Omar Aziz submitted a positive report to the Senate Constitution and Justice Committee endorsing Paulo Gonet for a new two‑year term as Prosecutor‑General.
  • The report will be read on November 5, with Gonet’s confirmation hearing set for November 12 in the CCJ.
  • Final approval requires a simple majority in the CCJ and at least 41 votes in the full Senate; Gonet previously secured 65–11 in the 2023 plenary vote.
  • Aziz’s text praises Gonet’s apolitical, technical leadership, citing internal pacification of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and hundreds of criminal actions, including cases tied to the attack on democracy.
  • As PGR, Gonet filed the complaint against Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others for an alleged attempted coup, drawing criticism from Bolsonaro allies who signal a tougher confirmation climate.
