Brazil court orders vice-gov candidate to remove video linking Lula to crime

Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) minister Estela Aranha ordered Alfredo Gaspar, running mate of vice-presidential candidate Flávio, to remove a video alleging Lula's involvement in criminal activity without evidence. This is the second such removal order against Gaspar, indicating a pattern of unsubstantiated claims in the campaign. The ruling underscores judicial oversight of electoral content ahead of the 2026 elections.
