The PSD party of Rio de Janeiro has filed a legal complaint against Governor Cláudio Castro and Secretary of Civil Police Felipe Curi, alleging misuse of police resources for political gain.
The Social Democratic Party (PSD) of Rio de Janeiro has taken legal action against Governor Cláudio Castro and the Secretary of Civil Police, Felipe Curi, by filing a representation with the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). This complaint comes amid allegations that state police forces are being weaponized to target political opponents. The PSD claims that this constitutes electoral crime and abuse of power, necessitating the dismissal of both Castro and Curi from their positions. This escalates an ongoing political conflict in Rio de Janeiro, particularly as the complaint follows the recent arrest of municipal councilor Salvino Oliveira, a member of the PSD, who has been accused of engaging in illegal electoral activities with drug traffickers.
