Delcídio do Amaral

Delcídio do Amaral Gomez (born February 2, 1955) is a Brazilian politician. He represented Mato Grosso do Sul in the Federal Senate from 2003 to 2016. He used to be member of the Workers' Party. He was the speaker of his party at the Senate and used to be the head of the Senate's economic affairs committee. Amaral was arrested in November 2015 for allegedly taking kickbacks from Petrobras. A Supreme Court judge, Teori Zavascki, said he authorised the arrest after seeing evidence that Amaral had planned the flight of Petrobras’s former international director, Nestor Cerveró, in return for his silence. In March 16, 2016 he signed a plea bargain alleging involvement of other politicians in corruption scandals in Brazil. In May 10, 2016 the Senate approved by 74 votes in favor, the removal of Mr. Amaral from office for breaching parliamentary decorum.
