MPSP denounces Arthur do Val for speech about 'thug from Faria Lima' linked to organized crime: 'Has to be killed'

oglobo27 August 2026 at 23:35

The influencer and former expelled state deputy Arthur do Val, known as "Mamãe falei", became the target of a complaint by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office for incitement to crime. The action was filed last Tuesday and refers to comments made by the former parliamentarian about Operation Carbono Oculto, launched in August last year.

The operation targeted people and institutions on Avenida Faria Lima involved in a scheme of tax evasion and money laundering for the Primeiro Comando da Capital, a criminal faction known as PCC. In a video published on his YouTube channel, Arthur do Val stated: "Thug from Faria Lima who launders money for organized crime has to be killed."

The former deputy was expelled by the São Paulo State Legislative Assembly and is known for his participation in the Free Brazil Movement. The MPSP complaint argues that the influencer's statements constitute the crime of incitement, by defending that people involved with money laundering should be killed.

Andrea Silva proposes extinction of Varzim Lazer with integration of workers in the City Council

The president of the Póvoa de Varzim City Council, Andrea Silva, announced that she will propose the extinction of the municipal company Varzim Lazer at the executive meeting on August 31st, guaranteeing the integration of workers into the local authority. The mayor explained that a new court ruling now allows for safeguarding this integration, something that was not possible before. The decision comes after intense local political debate, including an open letter from Aliança Poveira and a request for exoneration of the Board of Directors by CHEGA, which is part of the company's management. Aliança Poveira criticized the measure, stating that legal mechanisms for worker integration already existed. Andrea Silva defended that the priority was always the defense of jobs and the labor stability of employees.

Opinion: Rui Teixeira | How many are left?

The regional government of the Azores announced the hiring of 108 Operational Assistants for the schools in the region, which is seen as positive news. However, the author of this opinion, Rui Teixeira, argues that the shortage on the ground is much greater than the number announced, considering that the Azores have approximately 40 schools and 120 school nuclei with kindergarten and primary education, most of which need more human resources.

Sustainability without justice is not enough

This opinion article addresses the cyclical discussion about the sustainability of Social Security in Portugal, warning that, although the warnings about increasing life expectancy and the decreasing worker-to-pensioner ratio are pertinent, the fundamental question of the system's justice is rarely raised first. The text criticizes the tendency to focus only on demographic and financial numbers, without first questioning whether the proposed solutions are equitable for all citizens.
