Overview
- The councilor was arrested during a joint Polícia Civil and Ministério Público operation and remains in custody following a temporary-prison order that investigators carried out on Thursday.
- Prosecutors and police are investigating Operação Última Parada, which they say targets a suspected scheme to launder PCC funds using the Transunião bus company that serves São Paulo.
- Senival Moura formally asked the PT municipal directory to be removed from the party on June 27 to focus on his defense and to avoid tying the party to the probe.
- The PT has referred the matter to its Ethics Committee, which can pursue disciplinary steps including temporary suspension or expulsion while guaranteeing the member’s right to defend himself.
- Moura’s lawyers say he is innocent and expressed indignation at the arrest; investigators also reported claims that the PCC once targeted him for execution but spared him due to his influence, a detail that highlights the probe’s focus on alleged criminal‑political links and may affect oversight of public‑transport contracts.
