Translated from Portuguese Read in Portuguese

Brazil's Supreme Court has suspended part of Renan Santos' presidential campaign, restricting his use of social media, receiving or spending electoral funds, and participating in debates. The decision was made by Minister Dias Toffoli, who cited the candidate's incomplete registration of social media profiles. Toffoli deemed this an "omission" and an "indication of fraud", despite the candidate's lawyers adding 16 profiles 12 days after the initial registration.

Over 2,700 other candidates also failed to fully register their social media profiles, but it is unclear if they will face similar restrictions.
