Enrique Ricardo Lewandowski (Portuguese pronunciation: [ẽˈʁiki ʁiˈkaʁdu lɛvɐ̃ ˈdɔvski]; born 11 May 1948) is a Brazilian judge and former justice of the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil.[1] He's the son of a Polish father and Swiss mother, who immigrated to Brazil after the Second World War.[2]

Lewandowski was replaced by Cármen Lúcia who was championed by Celso de Mello, Brazil's most senior jurist. Lewandowski had been known for championing a reduction in oversight of judges and an increase in their remuneration. Lucia's champion gave a speech talking about the need to remove corruption despite the presence of a number of alleged suspects.[3]

On 10 January 2024, Lewandowski accepted president Lula da Silva's invitation to replace outgoing minister Flávio Dino in the Ministry of Justice and Public Security.[4]
