On Tuesday morning, the Federal Police (PF) executed a search and seizure warrant in Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais, as part of an investigation into threats directed at judges and employees of the Federal Justice and the National Social Security Institute (INSS). The suspect, a 63-year-old man, is believed to have sent intimidating audio messages containing references to potential firearm use against the targeted officials. The police did not disclose the man’s name, but emphasized the nature of the threats involved in the case.

The warrant was issued by the Federal Justice and is part of ongoing efforts executed by the PF's delegation in Uberlândia. During the operation, authorities seized electronic devices and documents that will undergo forensic analysis to ascertain the extent of the threats and any potential charges that may follow. The investigation is ongoing, with the police indicating that further inquiries will be conducted into the matter, considering the seriousness of the offenses.

The suspect reportedly has a criminal history involving offenses such as bodily injury, contempt, and making threats, which raises concerns about the previous behavior being a precursor to the current allegations. As the investigation unfolds, the Federal Police continue to prioritize the review of any evidence collected to safeguard the judicial system and its members from future threats.
