TSE forms majority to maintain suspension of Dallagnol's campaign

TL;DR

  • A majority of the TSE has voted to uphold the suspension of Deltan Dallagnol's campaign.
  • Dallagnol is prohibited from promoting his candidacy, though his registration remains valid and his name will appear on the ballot.
  • The suspension was initially determined by Minister Floriano de Azevedo Marques, who cited potential 'systemic risks' to the electoral process.
  • The TSE's decision overturns a previous ruling by the TRE-PR, which had allowed Dallagnol to campaign.
  • The case relates to Dallagnol's resignation from the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office before the 2022 elections, which the TSE previously deemed an attempt to avoid investigations and a violation of the 'Ficha Limpa' law.
