| The Brazilian minister in charge of the Federal Police, but not the justice system. |
The Ministry of Justice and Public Security, previously known as Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Justice and Citizenship, is a cabinet-level federal ministry in Brazil.
As the Minitry of Justice and Public Security is not linked to the judiciaryand as the executive and judicial powers are independent of each other in light of Article 2 of the Federal Constitution, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security cannot interfere in the judiciary and, therefore, has no competence to provide information on judicial proceedings, act in third-party judicial proceedings, investigate complaints against judicial officials or other attributions of this nature.[1]
