Court suspends for the 2nd time the cassation process against the mayor of Campo Limpo Paulista

The SΓ£o Paulo Court of Justice has temporarily suspended the cassation process of Campo Limpo Paulista's mayor, Adeildo Nogueira, for the second time.

The SΓ£o Paulo Court of Justice (TJ-SP) has issued a provisional suspension of the ongoing cassation process against Adeildo Nogueira, the mayor of Campo Limpo Paulista, marking the second time this legal action has been halted. This decision, rendered on Thursday, reflects ongoing legal complexities surrounding the mayor's position, particularly after the initial suspension on February 12 and its subsequent reopening earlier this week.

Adeildo Nogueira is facing two concurrent investigations: one within the Municipal Chamber, which could result in the revocation of his mandate, and another by the Public Prosecutor's Office concerning administrative impropriety. Despite facing legal challenges, Nogueira has yet to receive a definitive ruling against him, placing a spotlight on the intricate relationship between local governance and judicial oversight.

The latest suspension was ordered by Judge Paola Lorena and responds to an appeal made by City Councilor Paulo Preza. This ruling halts the processing of the cassation case and nullifies any actions taken following the temporary removal of Preza from his role in the commission that oversees such matters. The ongoing legal struggle highlights the tensions within local political dynamics and the implications of judicial decisions on elected officials' legitimacy.
