Judicial Police coordinator removed from post following internal complaint against director
According to Google News PT — Crime (pt), a coordinator at the Judicial Police (PJ) has been transferred by the institution's own leadership after filing a formal complaint against the director of the PJ, accusing him of making false statements in court.
The transfer, decided by the leadership of the Judicial Police, came in direct succession to the complaint filed by the coordinator, according to Observador, which broke the story.
The incident raises questions about possible internal reprisals within one of the country's main criminal investigation forces. The allegation of false statements in a judicial context is a particularly serious accusation, given that it concerns the top responsible official at the PJ.
No further details were released about the exact content of the alleged false statements, nor about the legal proceedings in question. The Judicial Police leadership has not made any public statement regarding the transfer decision.
