Court restricts Prisco's campaign to Salvador.

Bahia 247 - Salvador city councilman Marco Prisco (PSDB) had his request to relax the restrictive measures imposed on him by the 17th Federal Court in Brasília, since his release from prison, denied by the courts. The politician had requested permission to campaign for state representative in the interior of the state, but, with the denial, he remains unable to leave the capital, where he resides.

"I still cannot leave the capital of Bahia, despite running for a position that covers the entire state; I still cannot meet with military police officers, a group with whom I have always fought for improvements and for which I suffer political persecution; I still cannot discuss improvements with associations and entities that defend the category," the councilman complained in a press release.

Prisco's lawyer, Marcele Maron, will appeal the decision "based on constitutional rights." "This is a veiled loss of political rights. Which is unconstitutional, since loss is only possible in the cases stipulated in Article 15 of the Constitution."

Prisco was arrested on April 18th at his vacation home on the northern coast of Bahia, in an operation by the Federal Police for leading the Military Police strikes of 2012 and 2014. He was held at the Papuda Penitentiary Complex in Brasília until May 30th and was released with restrictions such as a prohibition on contact with directors of associations, including Aspra, to which he belongs. Tucano also had to pay bail of 30 minimum wages (R$ 21.720).
