The Judicial Police of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) has reached out to Justice André Mendonça's office to discuss the possibility of expanding his security measures to include his family. This suggestion comes in light of the high-profile nature of his work at the STF, where he serves as the rapporteur for significant cases, including those involving the Master Bank and the INSS. Currently, security protocols focus solely on the justice, much like other court members, but the new proposal aims to ensure comprehensive protection for Mendonça’s wife and children as well.

Mendonça, who also serves as a pastor at the Presbyterian Church of Pinheiros in São Paulo, has previously needed to wear a bulletproof vest during certain public engagements, indicating the serious nature of the threats he may face. The proposed security measures would involve agents accompanying his family on all movements to safeguard against potential risks. Assistance from close aides suggests that Mendonça is likely to agree to these measures, provided they are feasible and effective in ensuring his family's safety.

As the rapporteur for pivotal cases, there is heightened public scrutiny and potential backlash related to his decisions. Notably, Mendonça described circumstances leading to the imprisonment of banker Daniel Vorcaro in the Master Bank case, underscoring the sensitive legal matters that could lead to unrest. This context establishes the relevance of enhanced security measures not only for Mendonça but also for his loved ones, reflecting a broader theme of safety for public officials involved in controversial legal proceedings.
