Prosecutors want Brazilian presidential candidate Pablo Marçal removed from the ballot, citing issues with his wealth declaration and party affiliation. Marçal initially claimed a net worth of 7.4 billion reais, but later corrected this to 149.9 million reais. The electoral prosecution service argues that there is no evidence to prove Marçal met the party affiliation deadline, and he is also facing an eight-year ineligibility ruling.
Marçal's running mate, Leonardo Avalanche, declared a cryptocurrency wealth increase of around 84,700% over eight years. If the Superior Electoral Court rejects Marçal's candidacy, he would be barred from public campaign funds, media time, and debates.
