The mayor of Minaçu, Brazil, Carlos Alberto Leréia, has been involved in a major scandal. The 63-year-old mayor found himself in a difficult situation due to a video allegedly secretly recorded while engaging in sexual intercourse with two women. Leréia, who is the mayor of this small city with a population of approximately 29,000, is currently campaigning for re-election. However, this incident has overshadowed the election race. The Civil Police of Goiás State examined the 7 minutes and 11 seconds long video. According to the report, there is no editing or interruption in the footage. The video was probably secretly recorded with a mobile phone. This scandal was brought up by Leréia's opponent, Roger Seabra, during a council meeting. Leréia described this situation as "inhumane" and stated that he found it embarrassing. This incident received wide coverage in the Brazilian media. The mayor argued that the discussions should focus on important issues such as health, education, and transportation. This scandal has sparked debates on moral values and the privacy of personal life in local politics. It is still unclear how this incident will affect Leréia's political career.
