Former aide to Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), Fabrício Queiroz (PL), is a pre-candidate for city councilor in Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro. He is facing lawsuits alleging that he misappropriated public funds for his own benefit. Since he has not been convicted, he can run for political office.
To the StateQueiroz said he will make his candidacy official as soon as Casa Verde Amarela, a base in the city for meetings with fellow party members, is ready. Without mentioning the exact date, he estimates that it will be finalized in the next few days.
Queiroz is a military police officer and has a history with former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL). The politician is being investigated for alleged participation in a rachadinha scheme when Flávio occupied a seat in the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj). He was arrested in 2020, but was released in 2021 and the case was closed the following year.
In 2022, the pre-candidate tried to enter politics by running for state deputy. At the time, he stated that if I had the support of the Bolsonaro family, I would certainly be the most voted deputy in Rio de Janeiro.
Affiliated with the PTB (now incorporated into the PRD), Queiroz did not win a seat in the Chamber, he obtained 6,701 votes. In an interview with Look In September 2023, the officer said that the clan sees him as a “leper” and that they are “the type who value those who betray them.”
“The Bolsonaros are the kind of people who value those who betray them. Bolsonaro did not help me at all in my campaign for state deputy in 2022. I didn’t even get a vote in the ballot box where he votes. If he had signaled favorably to my candidacy, I would be a deputy today,” he said.
This year, Queiroz declared that he joined the PL and has already sent the registration form to the Electoral Court. He declared having R$674.7 thousand in assets, almost 10% less than in 2020, when he reported having R$690 thousand in assets.
