An aide to Lídio Lopes, a politician in Mato Grosso do Sul, has been arrested in the municipality of Iguatemi on suspicion of buying votes. Police reported seizing R$127,000 in cash along with campaign leaflets. The arrest has drawn attention in the region as electoral authorities examine whether the money and materials were intended to fund illegal vote-buying, and whether Lopes himself had any knowledge of the activities.
