Federal Police investigates threats received by elected federal deputy Ana Elisa

The Federal Police reported on Sunday (8) that it is investigating threats published by elected federal deputy Ana Elisa Santos Silva (PT-MG).

Details of the threats

In a video posted on social media, the deputy stated she had received messages containing death threats. In one email, the author signs off as "Pedro" and claims he will "rapist and kill the federal deputy Ana Elisa." Within the same content, there are racist statements and detailed descriptions of how these crimes would be committed.

The deputy's statement

Adapting her position in light of the context, Ana Elisa Santos Silva said: "I ran for office, I won an election, and since then I have lost my freedom", adding that "I truly know what it is like to fear dying if I go out into the street".

Policing investigation

The case is being investigated by the Federal Police Office in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais. The work includes technical support from the Cybercrime Combat Directorate (DCIBER/PF). The investigation involves specialized inquiries and requests for cooperation with international authorities to identify those responsible.

Operational confidentiality

Due to the need for operational secrecy to preserve ongoing investigations, the PF does not disclose details about current operations.
Institutional context

In October 2026, the Aggregatio Operation enabled identifying those responsible for threats and other criminal activities carried out online against legislators, authorities, and public figures. The investigation demonstrated that initial cases treated separately shared a common origin, detected through specialized digital analysis techniques.

The Federal Police reinforces that all threats directed at citizens must be taken seriously, assessed for risk, and measures of protection deemed necessary by competent authorities should be adopted.
