Chamber Ethics Council Resets Rapporteur Pool in Mutiny Case, Choice Due Friday

The new draw breaks a procedural impasse after refusals by earlier nominees, positioning the panel to act on 30-day suspension requests.

Overview

  • Deputies Moses Rodrigues and Josenildo were drawn to the new shortlist to report the cases, with deputy Albuquerque also eligible for selection.
  • Council president Fábio Schiochet said he will name the rapporteur by Friday, committing to restart formal processing of the complaints.
  • The representation from the Chamber’s Corregedoria, led by Diego Coronel, seeks 30-day suspensions for Zé Trovão, Marcel van Hattem and Marcos Pollon.
  • The trio is accused of trying to physically block President of the Chamber Hugo Motta from resuming a session during the August protest in the plenary.
  • An earlier draw stalled after Zé Haroldo Cathedral and Castro Neto declined to serve, while the accused lawmakers deny wrongdoing and say their actions stayed within parliamentary limits.
