Deltan Dallagnol Senate campaign suspension upheld by TSE majority

The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) has formed a majority to maintain the suspension of Deltan Dallagnol's campaign for the Senate in Paraná. The decision, which follows a challenge by the Coligação Paraná para Todos (formed by the PT), prevents the Novo candidate from performing campaign acts, participating in free radio and television advertising, and accessing electoral funds.

The majority vote included ministers Dias Toffoli, Villas Bôas Cueva, and Estela Aranha, following an initial individual decision by Minister Floriano de Azevedo Marques. Ministers André Mendonça and Kassio Nunes Marques dissented from the majority. The legal dispute is linked to Dallagnol's previous role as a prosecutor at the Federal Public Ministry and his 2023 loss of mandate as a federal deputy.

Dallagnol's defense has contested the ruling, claiming the process was conducted in secret without prior access for the defense and questioning the impartiality of Minister Dias Toffoli.
