Brazil's electoral court denies candidacy to Deltan Dallagnol for Senate

Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) disqualified Deltan Dallagnol from running for Senate in Paraná. The decision came just before the election, barring the former Lava Jato prosecutor from participating.

This ruling stems from Dallagnol's resignation from the Federal Police under circumstances deemed by the court to disqualify him from holding public office. His candidacy had already faced scrutiny, with a request made to annul his votes. The court's action removes a prominent figure from the political landscape, impacting the senatorial race in the state.
