Legal dispute over Carlos Alberto da Cunha dismissal

Overview

The São Paulo Court of Justice issued a preliminary injunction to suspend the dismissal of Carlos Alberto da Cunha, a federal deputy known as Delegado da Cunha, from the São Paulo Civil Police. The dismissal, signed by Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, followed a disciplinary process regarding allegations that Da Cunha used public resources—including police vehicles, weapons, and badges—to create monetized content for his YouTube channel.

One specific allegation involved a 2020 incident where Da Cunha allegedly orchestrated a reenactment of a kidnapping rescue for social media footage. While the court decision reinstates his position within the Civil Police pending further judicial analysis, his mandate as a federal deputy remains unaffected. Da Cunha’s defense has argued that the administrative process contained irregularities.
