Brazil’s lower house of Congress has voted in favour of expelling a lawmaker who has been accused of ordering the murder of her husband. Evangelical gospel singer and pastor turned politician Flordelis de Souza has always maintained she is innocent. The 60-year-old’s husband, Anderson do Carmo, was shot 30 times at their home in Rio de Janeiro in June 2019. Prosecutors allege he was killed by Ms Souza’s son on her orders with a gun purchased by one of her adopted sons. The couple were famous for raising 55 children, most of whom they had adopted.In an overwhelming vote, 437 members of the lower house of Congress voted in favour of stripping Flordelis de Souza of her seat for “conduct incompatible with parliamentary decorum”. Only seven lawmakers voted against the motion and 12 abstained.(BBC)…[+]
