The Governor of Espírito Santo, Renato Casagrande, dismissed one of the police delegates involved in a civil police investigation that identified suspicious activities related to federal judge Macário Júdice. This dismissal took place at the end of the previous year, following the preparation of a final inquiry report that implicated a businessman whose phone contained allegedly irregular conversations with the judge. The decision to dismiss this delegate reflects significant upheaval within the state's legal and law enforcement circles.

Moreover, other police agents connected to the investigation were also reassigned, indicating broader implications for the civil police department. Secretary of Security Leonardo Damasceno mentioned that neither he nor Governor Casagrande had knowledge of any dialogues involving the magistrate. This suggests a potential internal conflict within the police or a management response to political pressure in light of the investigation's findings.

The relationship between Casagrande and judge Macário Júdice is currently under scrutiny, particularly with a request for an inquiry made by the Federal Police to the Supreme Federal Court (STF). This inquiry highlights the delicate balance of power and accountability in the judicial system and raises questions about the integrity of judicial proceedings in the region. Such developments underscore the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement and the judiciary in maintaining public trust amid emerging allegations of misconduct.
