Overview

• The Cotia City Council formalized the loss of Alexandre Frota’s mandate on October 3 in a document signed by chamber president Professor Osmar.
• The case stems from a 2017 social‑media post in which Frota attributed to Jean Wyllys a statement defending pedophilia, leading to a conviction confirmed by TRF‑3 and the STJ and finalized on May 26, 2025.
• Frota’s sentence is two years and 26 days in the open regime plus 175 day‑fines, subject to possible substitution by the executions court for measures such as community service.
• At the time of the revocation, he was on leave from the legislature and serving as Cotia’s secretary of institutional relations, a role unaffected by the council’s decision.
• Frota posted a video saying he leaves with his head held high and will keep supporting residents, while his lawyer Anthero Mendes Pereira Junior said they will seek a revisão criminal.
