The Electoral Court announced on the afternoon of this Sunday (27) elections that it is unaware of the alleged voting orientation of the criminal faction Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) for the candidate for mayor of São Paulo Guilherme Boulos (PSol). “No intelligence report or any official information came to the attention of the Regional Electoral Court of São Paulo,” replied the TRE-SP press office in consultation with the Radio Agency National (EBC).
Boulos filed a Judicial Electoral Investigation Action (Aije) in the 1st Electoral Zone for abuse of political power and abuse in the misuse of the media, against the governor of São Paulo Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans).
Alongside Mayor Ricardo Nunes (PMDB), a candidate for re-election, the São Paulo governor stated, without providing evidence, that members of the faction advised relatives and supporters to vote for Boulos.
Tarcísio’s statement that he “had the support” of the PCC asking for a vote for Boulos was given at a press conference at the Miguel Cervantes school, in the south zone of São Paulo, where the governor votes.
In Boulos’ action, lawyer Francisco Octavio de Almeida Prado Filho, states that “the use of the position of State Governor with the purpose of interfering in the results of the election, on voting day, is evident.”
.“The electoral purpose is clear by the choice of the moment to publicize the press conference, during voting hours, with the presence of candidates openly supported by the current governor, all with advertising stickers of the candidates represented on their shirts”, says Prado FIlho.
For Boulos’ defense, the governor’s attitude was “coordinated” with Ricardo Nunes’ campaign, “in an abusive and criminal way, during voting hours.”
The report contacted the government of São Paulo to ask for a position on the case and keeps the space open for positioning.
