Deltan Dallagnol Senate campaign suspended by TSE majority

The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) has formed a majority to uphold the suspension of Deltan Dallagnol's campaign for the Senate in Paraná. The decision, initially a preliminary injunction by Minister Floriano de Azevedo Marques, follows an appeal by the Coligação Paraná Para Todos and the Federação Brasil da Esperança.

Dallagnol, a former prosecutor known for his role in Operation Lava Jato, is facing allegations of ineligibility. The core of the dispute involves his 2021 resignation from the Federal Public Ministry (MPF), which the TSE previously ruled in 2023 was an attempt to circumvent the Ficha Limpa law while facing disciplinary proceedings.

The suspension imposes several restrictions: Dallagnol is prohibited from using public campaign funds, including the Party Fund and the Special Campaign Financing Fund (FEFC). He is also barred from participating in radio and television advertising and from taking part in electoral debates.

While the Regional Electoral Court (TRE-PR) had previously authorized his candidacy with a 4 to 3 vote, the TSE's intervention aims to prevent potential instability in the electoral process. Dallagnol has criticized the decision, claiming it was made through a 'secret process without the right to defense' and has stated his intention to appeal.
