Milton Ribeiro case
Also regarding the elections, the vice president stated that the arrest of former Minister of Education Milton Ribeiro “it didn’t last long” and should not get in the way of Bolsonaro’s campaign. He stated that the pastor’s arrest was “hasty” and “with weak indications of probable crimes”.
Milton Ribeiro and pastors Arilton Moura and Gilmar Santos were arrested in the PF (Federal Police) “Accesso Pago” operation on Wednesday (June 22) in Santos, as a result of the investigation of the case of influence peddling and the performance of pastors at MEC. On Thursday (June 23), federal judge Ney Bello, of the TRF-1 (Federal Regional Court of the 1st Region), revoked the ex-minister’s preventive detention.
The opposition in the Senate claims to have obtained the minimum number of signatures for the opening of a CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) to investigate the alleged corruption scheme in the MEC. For Mourão, however, the initiative should not advance because of the elections.

A pre-candidate for the Senate from Rio Grande do Sul, Mourão says he has received “small donations” on your virtual crowdfunding crowdfunding. He said, however, that he must receive enough money from his party to fund the campaign. “I even think there will be plenty of resource“, said.
