Four employees from Brazil's Federal Revenue are under investigation for allegedly accessing and leaking confidential data pertaining to ministers of the Supreme Federal Court (STF). The Supreme Court reported multiple illicit accesses to the Brazilian Federal Revenue system, which resulted in the leakage of sensitive information. These actions have led to a significant investigation by the Federal Police, emphasizing the severity of the breach of confidentiality.

Despite attempts by Folha de S.Paulo to reach out to the accused individuals through various means, including direct calls and visits to their residences, there has been no response from any of the employees. Following the investigation's escalation, the implicated staff members have been suspended from their positions, their passports have been canceled, and they are expected to provide formal testimonies to the Federal Police. This response illustrates the serious nature of the allegations against them and the government's commitment to addressing data privacy violations.

One of the individuals being targeted in this operation is Ricardo Mansano de Moraes, an auditor currently associated with the Federal Revenue Secretariat in Presidente Prudente, São Paulo. He resides in a luxury condominium with his spouse, highlighting the conflicting narratives often surrounding public servants amidst allegations of misconduct. This case raises broader concerns about the protection of sensitive information and the accountability of public officials in Brazil, indicating potential political and social implications if proven true.
