Deltan Dallagnol Claims STF Minister's Ruling on Ineligibility Report Contains Factual Error
Former prosecutor and Senate pre-candidate Deltan Dallagnol has asserted that an injunction issued by Supreme Federal Court (STF) Minister Flávio Dino contains a factual error. The injunction revoked a decision by the Regional Electoral Court of Paraná (TRE-PR), which had previously removed an article titled 'TSE maintains Deltan Dallagnol's ineligibility' from circulation. Dallagnol argues that the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) merely issued a certificate regarding his 2022 candidacy registration, rather than a new judicial decision declaring him ineligible for the 2026 elections. He contends that explanatory certificates do not constitute binding rulings on future eligibility. This legal dispute stems from a 2023 TSE decision that rejected Dallagnol’s candidacy under the Clean Record Law due to his resignation from the Federal Public Ministry amid pending disciplinary procedures. While Dino allowed the report’s publication, he dismissed allegations of judicial harassment against the journalist involved. Dallagnol has also filed lawsuits against various media outlets and politicians for disseminating claims about his ineligibility, maintaining that the 2023 ruling was circumstantial and does not automatically bar his current political ambitions.
