TSE postpones ruling on Dallagnol and maintains deadlock
The former Lava Jato prosecutor was elected senator for Paraná
TL;DR
- The TSE has postponed the judgment on Deltan Dallagnol's Senate candidacy for Paraná.
- Dallagnol won a Senate seat with 2.9 million votes but his eligibility is contested by the PT of Paraná.
- Dallagnol's mandate as federal deputy was previously revoked by the TSE due to claims he resigned from the Federal Public Ministry to evade the Clean Slate Law.
- The case has seen conflicting decisions from the Regional Electoral Court of Paraná, TSE minister Floriano de Azevedo Marques, and TSE president Kassio Nunes Marques.
- The deadlock will continue until the merits of the case are judged.
