Brazil: TSE minister with Moraes ties blocks Deltan Senate bid

Brazilian electoral court minister Floriano de Azevedo Marques, a self-declared 40-year friend of Justice Alexandre de Moraes, suspended former deputy Deltan Dallagnol's Senate candidacy on September 19. The decision, announced by Deltan, raises questions about judicial impartiality in Brazil's electoral process. This is a domestic political-legal development with no direct market impact.
