Deltan Martinazzo Dallagnol (born 15 January 1980) is a Brazilian politician[1] affiliated to the New Party (NOVO). Dallagnol was also a federal prosecutor specialized in crimes against the national financial system and money laundering from 2003 to 2021. He is known for being the lead prosecutor of Operation Car Wash, an investigation into corruption in the Brazilian petroleum company Petrobras.

He was elected in 2022 Brazilian general elections to represent the state of Paraná in the Chamber of Deputies.[2] His term of federal deputy was revoked on 16 May 2023 by the Superior Electoral Court of Brazil in a unanimous decision. On 6 June 2023, the Bureau of the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil confirmed the decision of the Superior Electoral Court that revoked his term, a decision based on the grounds that Dallagnol committed a fraud against the Ficha Limpa (Clean Record) act.[3] Dallagnol moved to Chicago in 2023[4] and on the plane he began receiving donations to pay the hundreds of fines for his criminal convictions.[5]

Biography

Deltan Dallagnol was born in Pato Branco, Brazil..[6]

Operation Car Wash

Dallagnol was part of the original, Operation Car Wash task force formed in Curitiba in March 2014. In September 2020, Dallagnol announced that he would be leaving as coordinator of the Car Wash prosecution team.[7]

Power Point of Charge

On September 14, 2016, Deltan Dallagnol and part of the Lava Jato team made a fake Power Point presentation of the summary of the charges against Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, placing him as a "conductor of a criminal orchestra" but without offering a structured complaint of head of the criminal organization.[8] The focal point of the controversy was the alleged statement "we have no proof, but we have conviction," which went viral on social networks as if it had existed.[9] Officials said the prosecution was based on immunity negotiated accusations and the theories of "probabilism" and "explanationism" created and defended by the prosecutor himself to support the evidence-free evidence that remained at the end of the investigations.[10]

In 2022, Lula filed a lawsuit asking for compensation alleging “violation of his honor” because in the PowerPoint presentation. The Superior Court of Justice Justice condemned Deltan to compensate Lula in the amount of R$75,000.[11]

Allegations of irregularities

In June 2019, reports published by The Intercept based on a large trove of leaked materials indicated that there were "legally dubious internal discussions" between Dallagnol, in the role of Chief Prosecutor, and lead judge Sergio Moro, resulting in an international furor, due to the alleged politically based, illegal coordination between the two teams.[12] In November 2019, disciplinary proceedings against Dallagnol led to warnings imposed by the National Council of the Public Prosecution Service (CNMP).[13][14]

Political career

Dallagnol joined Podemos (PODE) on December 10, 2021[15] and ran for a term of federal deputy in the state of Paraná in the 2022 Paraná parliamentary election, being elected as the most voted congressman in the state, with 344,917 votes.[2]

He held office between 1 February and 16 May 2023, when his candidacy record was revoked by a unanimous decision of the Superior Electoral Court, based on a representation presented to the court by the Brazil of Hope federation (PT/PCdoB/PV) and the Party of National Mobilization (PMN). The representation stated that Dallagnol could not have left his career as a public prosecutor while he was responding to disciplinary complaints and investigations at the National Council of the Public Prosecution Service (CNMP).[16]

The rapporteur judge of the case, Minister Benedito Gonçalves, understood that Dallagnol requested his early dismissal from the Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) on 3 November 2021, when he had already been condemned by the CNMP to censure and a warning while 15 administrative proceedings against him were still pending at the National Council of the Public Prosecution Service. Gonçalves concluded that Dallagnol used his early dismissal as a manueaver to bypass the possibility of ineligibility for an eventual conviction in an administrative process. The court followed the vote of the rapporteur.[17]

On 30 September 2023, he left Podemos and joined the New Party (NOVO).[18]
