The Rio de Janeiro Legislative Assembly (Alerj) voted to release its president, deputy Rodrigo Bacellar (União), arrested on Wednesday (3) for suspected leaking of a police operation. Of the 65 deputies who voted, 42 were in favor, exceeding the minimum of 36 required. The decision will be communicated to STF Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who may impose alternative measures to imprisonment.
The Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice annulled the election of deputy Douglas Ruas (PL) as president of the Rio de Janeiro Legislative Assembly (Alerj) on Thursday (26). Acting president desembargadora Suely Lopes Magalhães's preliminary decision cites abuse of purpose and failure to follow the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) order. Guilherme Delaroli (PL) remains as interim president.
