Overview

  • The Superior Court of Justice on Thursday ruled Narco Fluxo arrests could last only five days, calling 30‑day temporary orders illegal.
  • The Federal Police, citing evidence reviewed from last week’s searches, then asked judges to convert key cases to preventive detention.
  • A federal court in São Paulo on Thursday granted preventive prison for MC Ryan SP, MC Poze do Rodo and Choquei founder Raphael Sousa Oliveira.
  • The United States this week told Brazil to remove its Federal Police liaison in Miami over alleged misuse of the immigration system linked to the Alexandre Ramagem detention, as Brazil replaced the official and suspended a U.S. agent’s credentials in Brasília.
  • On Wednesday, opposition lawmaker Hélio Lopes filed an impeachment complaint against the justice minister over the liaison episode, arguing PF tried to bypass formal U.S. extradition channels.
