Brazilian State Legislator Thiago Rangel Remains in Preventive Detention Amid Education Fraud Investigation

State deputy Thiago Rangel of the Avante party has been unanimously ordered to remain in preventive detention by the First Panel of Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF). The decision prevents the Rio de Janeiro State Legislative Assembly (ALERJ) from voting on his release. Rangel was arrested during the fourth phase of the Federal Police's 'Unha e Carne' Operation, which investigates fraud in the procurement of materials and services by the Rio de Janeiro State Secretariat of Education.
