João Francisco Inácio Brazão
João Francisco Inácio Brazão, commonly known as Chiquinho Brazão, is a former Brazilian federal deputy who has been in the news due to his legal troubles, including a preventive detention since March 2023 on charges related to the murder of councilwoman Marielle Franco and her driver, Anderson Gomes, in 2018. His case has garnered significant attention as the Chamber of Deputies declared the loss of his mandate due to excessive absences from legislative sessions, which he argued against in a recent appeal to the Supreme Federal Court.
