Overview
- Before its first working meeting, the Senate CPI on Organized Crime collected dozens of requests to hear domestic and international figures, including El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele.
- Senator Magno Malta formally sought to invite Bukele to discuss El Salvador’s security strategy and proposed a CPI visit to the country’s high-profile detention facilities.
- CPI rapporteur Alessandro Vieira said Bukele-style policies would be unconstitutional in Brazil and signaled he will only hear criminal leaders in plea-bargain contexts.
- The commission has already approved 38 invitations to Brazilian authorities, including Justice Minister Ricardo Lewandowski, Federal Police director Andrei Rodrigues and intelligence chief Luiz Fernando Corrêa.
- Any outreach to a foreign head of state must pass through the Senate presidency and the Foreign Ministry, while separate requests aim to summon alleged PCC figures such as Marcolinha, Julinho Carambola and Fuminho.
