You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Brazilian Intelligence Agency''' (((lang-pt|'''Agência Brasileira de Inteligência''')), '''ABIN''') is the main [[intelligence agency]] in Brazil.  ABIN's mission is to ensure that the Federal Executive has access to knowledge related to the security of the State and society, such as those involving foreign defense, foreign relations, internal security, socioeconomic development and scientific-technological development.

==History==
A successor organization to the [[National Intelligence Service of Brazil|Serviço Nacional de Informações]] (SNI), it formed during the government of [[Humberto de Alencar Castelo Branco]] in the mid-1960s.

In an attempt to bring military [[Intelligence agency|intelligence agencies]] under the control of the civilian-led government as part of the process of democratization that began in Brazil in 1985, President [[Fernando Collor de Mello]] replaced the SNI with the short-lived (1990–1994) Secretaria de Assuntos Estratégicos (SAE) or Strategic Affairs Secretariat. However, despite the dismissal of 144 SNI officers, the agency continued to be dominated by the military and effective oversight and control of the country's intelligence activities eluded the civilian government.

In 1995 President [[Fernando Henrique Cardoso]] placed a civilian at the head of the SAE and subsequently created ABIN. Like many other Latin American nations, Brazil faces the challenge of having to overcome a long history of involvement by the military and their related intelligence arms in domestic politics. Early on, ABIN was tainted by a wiretapping and influence peddling scandal that led to the agency being placed under the direct control of the President and the Institutional Security Cabinet rather than being responsible to the national Congress. This had once again undermined the attempt to reduce the influence of the military on Brazilian intelligence agencies and their practises.

However, successive governments have taken a number of steps to reduce the influence of the armed forces and related intelligence agencies in domestic politics. The relationships between these groups and government in Brazil, so closely intertwined for decades, is evolving. The focus of intelligence agencies appears to be moving slowly from managing internal dissent to focusing on external threats and support of the nation's democracy.

On 1 September 2008, President [[Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva]] suspended the leadership of the organization, including its director Paulo Lacerda, and ordered an investigation into allegations that appeared in ''[[Veja (magazine)|Veja]]'' magazine of [[phone tapping]] of senior figures including the heads of both the [[Senate of Brazil|Senate]] and the [[Supreme Federal Court (Brazil)|Supreme Court]].<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7593265.stm "Lula suspends Brazil spy chiefs" (BBC)]</ref>

In 2024, an investigation was launched after it emerged that the agency had carried out surveillance on prominent critics of former president [[Jair Bolsonaro]] when he was still in office, including three justices of the [[Supreme Federal Court]] and a speaker of the [[Chamber of Deputies (Brazil)]]. Among those alleged to have been involved were Bolsonaro's son [[Carlos Bolsonaro|Carlos]], the then-head of ABIN [[Alexandre Ramagem]], and his deputy Alessandro Moretti, who was dismissed along with four agency department heads by President [[Luis Inacio Lula da Silva]].<ref>((cite news |title=Brazil's Lula sacks deputy intelligence chief amid spying probe |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-68150527 |access-date=31 January 2024 |agency=BBC News |date=31 January 2024))</ref>

==Functions==
ABIN's main function is to investigate real and potential threats to the Brazilian society and government and defend the democratic [[rule of law]], the Brazilian [[sovereignty]] and the effectiveness of the public power.

==Motto==
The agency's motto is "Intelligence for the defense of society, of the democratic [[rule of Law]] and of national interests" (((lang-pt|A Inteligência em defesa da sociedade, do Estado Democrático de Direito e dos interesses nacionais))).
