Alex Rodrigues Nogueira

Alex Rodrigues Nogueira was recently in the news for being arrested in the act of soliciting a bribe to restore electricity in São Paulo amidst a blackout caused by a storm. He was apprehended by Rafael Minatogawa, the subprefect of Vila Mariana, after admitting to charging R$ 2,500 for the service, which was deemed part of his obligations as a contracted employee of a company working with Enel. The incident sparked wider investigations into similar corrupt practices among utility workers during the crisis.
