Overview

• The loss of mandate was formalized on October 3 in a document signed by chamber president Professor Osmar and grounded in the Federal Constitution and the city’s Organic Law.
• The case stems from a 2017 social media post in which Frota attributed to Jean Wyllys a statement about pedophilia that Wyllys says he never made, leading to a 2018 conviction later upheld by TRF‑3 and the STJ with finality in 2025.
• Frota’s sentence is two years and 26 days in the open regime plus 175 day‑fines, with potential conversion to alternative penalties to be set by the executions court.
• Elected in 2024 with 2,893 votes, Frota served about eight months as a councilor and posted a video saying he leaves “with head held high.”
• Reports indicate his role as Cotia’s secretary of institutional relations remains unaffected because he was on leave from the council, and his lawyer says a criminal review will be filed.
