Chamber declares loss of mandate of Deltan Dallagnol – 06/06/2023 – Power

The Board of Directors of the Chamber of Deputies declared the loss of the mandate of Deputy Deltan Dallagnol (Podemos-PR) this Tuesday afternoon (6), after a meeting held at the official residence of the Chamber.

It is only up to the Board to make the official declaration of the loss of mandate, in compliance with the decision of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court). On the last 16th, the electoral court unanimously revoked the registration of the candidacy and, consequently, the mandate of deputy.

At the meeting, the Chamber’s Corregidor, Deputy Domingos Neto (PSD-CE), presented his opinion on the impeachment of the former coordinator of the Operation Lava Jato task force in Curitiba.

Now, according to the House’s bylaws, the Board of Directors will have up to 48 hours to summon Deltan’s alternate. The Regional Electoral Court of Paraná decided that the vacancy should be occupied by Itamar Paim (PL), a pastor from Paranaguá, who had 47,000 votes, as reported by the column Panel, of the Sheet.

The next step will be for the parliamentarian to hand over his credentials, as well as to empty his office.

On the last 30th, Deltan presented his defense to the Internal Affairs of the Chamber to try to reverse the impeachment of his mandate.

One of the main arguments put forward by the parliamentarian is that 12 of the 15 procedures being processed against him at the CNMP (National Council of the Public Ministry) at the time of his dismissal were based on “illicit evidence”.

The inspector had up to 15 working days (with the possibility of extending for an equal period) to give his opinion. He did, however, file five business days after Deltan’s defense was filed.

The cassation action stems from the representation of the Brazilian Federation of Hope (PT, PC do B and PV) and the PMN, who claimed that Deltan could not have left his career as a public prosecutor to enter politics because he responded to disciplinary complaints, investigation and requests for action from the CNMP —which oversees the functional duties of members of the Public Prosecutor’s Office.

The opponents of the former prosecutor stated that the case fits into one of the ineligibility provisions defined with the 2010 edition of the Clean Record Law.
