Feds Crack Down in South Minas over Alleged Sham Kidnapping of Political Candidates Ahead of 2024 Elections
In the heat of the 2024 elections, a scandal rocks the political landscape of Senator José Bento, Minas Gerais. The cornerstone of the controversy - a staged kidnapping plot involving a mayoral candidate and a city council candidate.
According to leaked reports, the mayoral candidate, Natan da Saúde (PSD), and city council candidate, Thiago Rubens Martyr da Silva (PSD), conspired with third parties to fake their own kidnapping, aiming to stir public fury and leverage their predicament for electoral advantage. The story broke just days before the initial elections held on October 6, 2024. Both candidates managed to stay out of sight for over 24 hours, with Natan eventually losing, and Thiago securing his city council position.
Now, the heat is on as the Federal Police swoops in, executing ten judicial orders in the Minas Gerais cities of Congonhal, Senator José Bento, Ibitiura de Minas, and Andradas, as well as Siqueira Campos (PR). The operation, dubbed "Marco Zero," includes eight search and seizure warrants and two temporary arrest warrants. The investigation was initially launched by the Civil Police, but suspicions of electoral corruption swiftly led to the Federal Police taking over the case.
The operation's nickname refers to the location where the vehicle believed to have been used by the candidates was found, deemed the "zero point" of the investigation. As the drama unfolds, O TEMPO attempts to reach out to those under fire, including their political party. Stay tuned for updates as more details emerge.
