Paola Daniel (PRD), candidate for the Federal Chamber and ex-wife of Daniel Silveira, filed a Police Report at the 106th Police Station in Petrópolis, where both reside, accusing the ex-federal deputy of threats, bodily harm, psychological violence and defamation. She also requested a protective order against her ex-husband.
Daniel Silveira was arrested in 2021 after threatening Supreme Court ministers in support of then-president Jair Bolsonaro. Currently, he is serving his sentence on conditional release. According to Paola, the crimes against her began in 2022, when they were still married and he was in prison.
The candidate stated that Daniel does not accept her decision to run, which allegedly motivated the supposed aggression and threats. When contacted by the press, Daniel Silveira's defense denied the accusations.
Upon leaving the police station, Paola said she was forced to speak publicly due to false news that was circulating. She stated that people only know Daniel as a politician, but that he would be "a horrible person" as a man, and that she is conducting her campaign calmly despite the situation.
