Ceara 247 - City councilman Antonio Farias de Sousa, known as "Aonde é," submitted his resignation from the Presidency of the Fortaleza City Council this Thursday, the 7th. The request was filed late yesterday afternoon. The decision by the then-councilman, who was without a party affiliation, came after the House Ethics Committee requested the revocation of his mandate.
In the document, the councilman, who is accused by the Public Prosecutor's Office of misappropriating the salaries of public employees, thanked the six thousand voters who trusted him and described the situation that harmed his mandate as immature and disorganized, adding that he was leaving the City Council with his head held high.
Aonde É was arrested in the act in September 2014, accused of extortion, for attempting to receive money from a parliamentary advisor. He remained detained at the Arrests Division and was released on November 05th, after being granted habeas corpus. With his resignation, his substitute, Robert Burns (PTC), assumes the position.
