Lucas Bove (PL) is accused of domestic violence by his ex-wife, the influencer Cíntia Chagas; He denies the accusations
The Ethics Council rejected on Tuesday (26) representation that could lead to the revocation of the mandate of state deputy Lucas Bove (PL), accused of domestic violence by his ex-wife, the influencer Cíntia Chagas. The deputy denies the accusations. The representation against Bove was rejected by 6 votes to 1. The request for the establishment of the cassation process was submitted by parliamentarians from PSOL and the Federation headed by the PT.
The only vote favorable to receive the representation was that of Deputy Ediane Maria (PSOL). Deputies Oseias de Madureira (PSD), Carlos Cezar (PL), Dirceu Dalben (citizenship), Eduardo Nóbrega (Somos), Rafael Saraiva (União Brasil) and Delegate Olim (PP) voted against.
During the session, Bove stated that he did not intend to defend himself against the facts presented by the representation, because the case is being a secret of justice. He is investigated by the 2nd Women’s Defense Police Station from São Paulo. “For my part, I will not go into detail. As I said, I can not,” said the state deputy. Bove qualified representation as a “attempt to disqualify a political spectrum” and stated that the play is based on “gossip and half truths.” The deputy said that, if convicted in the second instance for the facts reported by his ex-wife, he will give up his mandate.
“I am nervous, sad and very upset. Only those who have suffered domestic violence know how much it hurts, how it marks our lives,” said Ediane Maria when she vote for receiving the representation. “The reception of representation needs a minimum of elements to demonstrate materiality and evidence of authorship,” said Eduardo Nóbrega, one of the six parliamentarians who voted for the filing of the request. Sought, Alesp’s advisory reported that the decision is the responsibility of the House Ethics Council. Bove is one of the closest parliamentarians closest to former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL). He was with the former executive chief hours before the house arrest decree on August 4.
