Superior Electoral Court upholds ineligibility of former Rio de Janeiro governor

cnnbrasil.com.br (Portuguese)

The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) rejected appeals from Cláudio Castro, upholding his ineligibility for eight years. The decision maintains Castro's conviction for abuse of power, preventing him from running for office until 2030. This ruling may influence the Supreme Court's decision on Rio de Janeiro's gubernatorial succession. Castro's ineligibility stems from the irregular use of state resources for temporary hires during the 2022 election campaign.
