Brasília10 elected Brazilians may be barred from taking office in 2027.
Electoral prosecutors want the electoral court to void 8 candidacies over alleged organised-crime links.
Six won seats while their appeals stayed pending, so the court could still bar them at any time.
Márcio Canella, jailed since 15 October, was Rio’s 2nd most-voted state deputy with nearly 200,000 votes.
The electoral court has until the 2027 swearing-in to rule on all 10 cases.
