Administrative and corruption allegations in Boa Vista

Overview

Legal and administrative investigations have targeted municipal management in Boa Vista, Brazil, involving allegations of financial and land-related irregularities.

The State Court of Accounts of Paraíba (TCE-PB) reviewed the management of former mayor Talita Lopes Arruda from 2021 to 2024. The Public Prosecutor's Office of Accounts recommended she be held liable for approximately R$ 740,000 due to issues including undocumented expenses, blank signed checks, and failure to invest cash held in the treasury. Auditors also reported difficulties accessing the municipal safe, which required police intervention.

Separately, the Public Ministry of Roraima (MP-RR) filed a civil action regarding a 2023 land expropriation during Arthur Henrique’s tenure as mayor. Prosecutors allege the deal was intended to benefit a company owned by Haroldo “Cathedral” Campos, a vice-governor candidate, and are seeking the return of R$ 21.5 million to the public treasury. The Boa Vista City Hall has contested these claims, citing a “concrete necessity” to expand student capacity.
