“O presidente me disse, mais de uma vez, expressamente, que ele queria ter uma pessoa do contato pessoal dele, que ele pudesse ligar, que ele pudesse colher informações, que ele pudesse colher relatórios de inteligência, seja o diretor, seja superintendente. E realmente não é o papel da Polícia Federal prestar esse tipo de informação.”
Portal translation: The president told me, more than once, expressly, that he wanted to have a person in his personal contact, whom he could call, from whom he could gather information, from whom he could gather intelligence reports, whether the director or a superintendent. And it is really not the role of the Federal Police to provide that kind of information.
The translation is the portal's; the original text, in Portuguese, is the one that prevails.
