💨 Abstract

Former Brazilian President Fernando Collor de Mello was arrested on Friday in Maceio after the Supreme Court rejected his appeals against a previous conviction for corruption and money laundering. Collor, the first democratically elected president after the end of Brazil's military dictatorship, was sentenced to eight years and ten months in prison in 2023. He was arrested while traveling to Brasilia and is being held by federal police in Maceio.
