Ministry of Justice asks the PF to investigate threats against elected federal deputy Ana Elisa

The request was sent to the general director of the PF, Andrei Augusto Passos Rodrigues, after the deputy reported new attacks on social media and deactivated her account on X.

In the document, the ministry mentions Ana Elisa Santos Silva's statement that she received a threat every two minutes.

The ministry also asked the PF to take measures with X and Meta to stop the reported practices and identify those responsible.

The letter is signed by the national secretary of Access to Justice, Sheila Santana de Carvalho.

On Thursday (8), Ana Elisa Santos Silva deactivated her X account after reporting death and rape threats. In a video posted on Instagram, she stated that the attacks had intensified and arrived every two minutes.

“I believe that no one deserves to suffer death threats for being politically engaged and trying to defend what they think is best for the country,” said the congresswoman-elect in the video.

Ana Elisa Santos Silva had already reported death and rape threats received during the electoral campaign to the Civil Police. The corporation informed g1 that the investigation was ongoing.

According to a report published by g1 on Thursday (8), one of the emails received by the elected deputy was sent on September 5th. The author identified himself as a member of a white supremacist group, cited personal information about Ana Elisa Santos Silva and also threatened her family members.

The deputy's team reported that police and judicial measures had been taken to identify the person responsible for the message.

In the request to the PF, the Ministry of Justice states that crimes committed on the internet with misogynistic content can be investigated at the federal level.

The ministry also says that, in the case of Ana Elisa Santos Silva, there is in theory a crime of threat against a woman due to her political activities and calls for investigation and accountability of the perpetrators.
