Corregedor suspends Nunes Marques' decision and rehabilitates 'Exército do Lula' channel

TL;DR

  • Corregedor-geral Ricardo Villas Bôas suspended TSE President Kassio Nunes Marques' decision.
  • The 'Exército do Lula' channel has been reinstated.
  • Marques had previously suspended the channel based on a request from Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign, citing fake news distribution.
  • The campaign alleged the channel operated as a single command structure to replicate prohibited political messages.
  • This suspension by Marques went against a previous procedure by Corregedor Villas Bôas Cueva in another case involving the same channel.
  • Cueva had previously given André Janones and President Lula five days to respond and requested information and evidence from Bolsonaro's campaign.
  • The new preliminary decision will be discussed by the TSE plenary.
