Overview
- A Curitiba councilor, Guilherme Kilter, filed a mandado de segurança after the Senate refused LAI requests, and a federal court in Paraná said it was incompetent before the case reached the STF.
- Justice Alexandre de Moraes recused himself because his wife was named, and Justice Luiz Fux assumed the relatoria and opened tramitation of the case.
- Fux gave Senate president Davi Alcolumbre ten days to justify or provide entry and exit records for a specified list covering Feb. 1, 2019 through 2026 and ordered formal notice to the Advocacia do Senado.
- After the Senate responds, Fux directed that the file be sent to the Procuradoria-Geral da República/Ministério Público Federal for a fixed 10-day opinion before any merit decision.
- The petition names politically sensitive figures including Viviane Barci de Moraes, Daniel Vorcaro, Fábio Luís Lula da Silva and others, turning on a legal clash between the Access to Information Law and the General Data Protection Law with possible effects on oversight and reputational risk for those named.
