Accusations include the coercion of civil servants to contribute donations to the election campaign; Eduardo Pimentel denies
The Public Prosecution Service of Paraná requested the dismissal of the mayor of Curitiba, and his deputy, Paulo Martins, due to allegations of abuse of political power. The charges include the coercion of civil servants to contribute donations to the election campaign. An audio that was released shows a former superintendent by pressing servers to buy invitations for a collection dinner, with resignation threats for those who did not attend.
Prosecutor Cynthia Pierri, responsible for the case, argued in favor of the cancellation and ineligibility of the two politicians. She highlighted the rapid exoneration of the superintendent as a sign that the complaints are founded. The situation will now be examined by, which will decide on the measures to be taken.
Eduardo Pimentel, in turn, refuted the allegations made against him and his deputy. The mayor stated that he does not tolerate any kind of threat directed to public servants. Pimentel’s defense seeks to disqualify the accusations, emphasizing that the integrity of his administration should not be compromised by these complaints.
