Roger Luiz Paz de Almeida

Roger Luiz Paz de Almeida is a Brazilian judge who recently faced suspension from his position at the Vara de Execuções de Medidas e Penas Alternativas in Manaus due to allegations of involvement in a fraudulent scheme involving the unauthorized release of nearly R$ 150 million from Eletrobras. His actions, which included modifying the publicity of legal proceedings and issuing decisions without proper justification, have drawn significant scrutiny from the National Justice Council (CNJ), leading to a broader investigation into judicial misconduct in the region.
