The Attorney General of the Union,[1] (or Solicitor General, ({{lang-pt|Advogado-Geral da União}}, AGU) is a cabinet-level position in the Brazilian government charged with advising the Executive Branch and representing the federal government of Brazil in legal proceedings [legally known as the Union (União)].[3] The Attorney General is defined under Article 131 of the Brazilian Constitution as one of the essential functions of Brazilian judicial administration, along with the roles performed by the judicial branch, the Prosecutor's office, the public defenders and private lawyers.[5][6] The current Attorney General is Grace Mendonça.[7]

The Attorney General of the Union is appointed by the President of Brazil and confirmed by the Senate. Under the constitution, the Attorney General must be at least 35 years old.[8] All Attorneys General within the Office must be bar members in Brazil. The Attorney General of the Union is a member of the Brazilian cabinet, holds the rank of Minister, and is also the head of the Advocacia-Geral da União (AGU), which is an essential function and branch of the federal government formed by its own Federal Prosecutors.

The Federal Prosecutors who compose the AGU are divided in four careers: the National Treasury Prosecutors (Procuradores da Fazenda Nacional), who represent the federal government in financial issues; the Union Attorneys (Advogados da União), who represent the government through general cases, the Federal Prosecutors (Procuradores Federais), who represent the federal agencies; and Brazilian Central Bank Prosecutors (Procuradores do Banco Central). Their functions are not limited to the Judiciary, and they are also responsible for inside legal control of the government and international legal representation of the Republic.[8]

Prosecutor General of Brazil

The prosecutorial duties of the office of the Attorney General were split off to a new Prosecutor General, named Prosecutor General of the Republic, under Article 4 of Law No. 73 of February 10, 1993. The Prosecutor General is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The office of Prosecutor General of the Republic (PGR) is an autonomous agency in charge of criminal prosecution and the defense of society in general, versus the office of the Attorney General, which represents the federal government in legal proceedings.

The Prosecutor General of the Republic (PGR) is the head of the Federal Public Ministry (Ministério Público Federal), which is also an essential function but holds the responsibility for criminal prosecution. Differently from the AGU, the members of the Federal Public Ministry are called "Republic Prosecutors", and are in charge of criminal prosecution at the first level of the Federal Justice. Despite the title, the Republic Prosecutors do not legally represent the Republic in international issues, which is a responsibility of the members of the AGU.[14]
