Brazil electoral prosecutors urge TSE to uphold Garotinho candidacy ban

Brazil's Electoral Public Ministry has asked the Superior Electoral Court to maintain the rejection of Anthony Garotinho's gubernatorial candidacy in Rio de Janeiro, citing a final conviction for administrative misconduct that suspends his political rights until 2033. The decision is based on a public civil action over contract irregularities in the state health secretariat. This is a routine legal step in an ongoing electoral eligibility dispute, with no immediate market impact.
