Brazil PGR opposes probe of Justice Mendonça for abuse of authority

Brazil's Prosecutor-General's Office (PGR) has formally opposed an investigation into Supreme Court Justice André Mendonça for alleged abuse of authority, a probe requested by Justice Alexandre de Moraes amid internal court disputes. The PGR's stance signals a potential de-escalation of institutional conflict within Brazil's highest court, though the final decision rests with the STF. This development matters as it reflects ongoing tensions in Brazil's judiciary and could influence political stability.
