PF investigates alleged threats to the US Embassy in Brazil

The Federal Police (PF) is investigating alleged threats to the United States Embassy in Brazil. Two search and seizure warrants were executed in São Paulo and the surrounding Federal District.

The police investigations are based on an alleged plan of acts against the diplomatic facilities of the North American country.

According to the PF, the search and seizure warrants were “preventive actions”. The investigation is treated as confidential. So far, the police have not found elements that would confirm the threat initially identified. The investigations, however, continue.

The embassy announced the suspension of its operations on Thursday (1st), which began this Friday (2nd), citing “security concerns”.
