Architect Edvaldo Mendes Araújo, former president of , was acquitted in the case he was facing for alleged administrative improbity.
The action even prevented Zulu Araújo, as he is known, at the beginning of Minister Margareth Menezes’ term.
The process was initiated in 2013, as a result of Araújo’s work at Fundação Palmares, institution which he presided over from 2007 to 2010.
The sanction came in September 2015, for administrative improbity, with the prohibition of new investiture in public office.
In September last year, he was acquitted by the Fourth Civil Court of the Federal District in relation to an agreement signed between the Palmares Foundation and the Quilombo dos Palmares Memorial Park, in Serra da Barriga (AL).
“The Federal District Court’s decision is a relief for those who have always led their public lives with fairness and responsibility,” said Araújo.
He is an activist and was the minister’s first choice for executive secretary. Araújo has a master’s degree in Culture and Society and is currently pursuing a doctorate in International Relations at the Federal University of Bahia.
