Refit, the owner of the Manguinhos Refinery, has formally requested the suspension of Minister Mauro Campbell, who serves as the national corregidor of justice, in a petition directed to the President of the National Justice Council (CNJ), Minister Edson Fachin. This request arises from Refit's concerns that Campbell has been in contact with judges and appellate judges regarding ongoing cases that are pertinent to the refinery's operations. The company alleged that Campbell's direct communications have raised questions about his neutrality and potential bias in situations involving the refinery's legal challenges.

In their petition, Refit argues that Campbell has been informally engaging with the judiciary about specific cases, which the company believes compromises the integrity of the judicial process concerning its affairs. They claim that Campbell's statements have included value judgments regarding Refit, which further exacerbates their concerns about his capacity to render fair oversight over their legal matters. The company seeks a formal prohibition against any direct or informal communications regarding its legal processes, arguing that such interactions could lead to undue influence on judicial proceedings.

By presenting this request to Minister Fachin, Refit aims to ensure that their legal battles are adjudicated without external pressure or perceived bias from high-ranking judicial officials. The outcome of this petition could have significant implications for how judicial oversight is carried out in Brazil, particularly in cases where large corporations are involved, and may set precedents governing the separation of powers between judicial and administrative branches of government.
