Mario Basílio de Melo

Mario Basílio de Melo is a Brazilian lawyer and recently appointed desembargador (judge) of the Tribunal de Justiça do Piauí, having been selected by Governor Rafael Fonteles. His name has come under scrutiny as he is linked to a financial investigation involving alleged corrupt practices and has reportedly received significant sums of money from a lobbyist implicated in the sale of judicial decisions.
