Judicial decision reinstates delegate Da Cunha following dismissal over fake video
The São Paulo court has suspended the dismissal of delegate Da Cunha, a federal deputy who forged a kidnapping video, according to information from Google News BR — São Paulo.
Da Cunha had been removed from his position as delegate following the scandal involving the fabrication of the video, in which he simulated an alleged kidnapping. The judicial decision now reverses, at least temporarily, this administrative punishment.
The case gained national repercussion due to its involvement of an elected parliamentarian with an active federal mandate. The dismissal from the police position had been applied as a disciplinary measure by the competent authorities of the state of São Paulo.
With the judicial suspension, Da Cunha provisionally resumes his functional status as a delegate, whilst the matter remains under analysis by the São Paulo judiciary. The parliamentary's federal deputy mandate was not affected by the original administrative measure.
