On March 23, Supreme Court Minister André Mendonça ordered the committee chair Alcolumbre to extend investigations into Brazil’s National Institute for Social Insurance (INSS). The decision followed a formal petition from Collegiate Chair Viana seeking additional time due to ongoing inquiries regarding potential fraud in pension payments and administrative irregularities.
