Mangaratiba (Portuguese pronunciation: [mɐ̃gaɾɐˈtʃibɐ]) is a municipality located in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. Its population is 45,220 (2020) and its area is 352 km2.[2]
Part of the Sylvester Stallone film The Expendables was shot in the central part of the city. The pier that is exploded in the film is the pier that the main ferry to Ilha Grande uses as its base of operation.
Many large bulk carriers enter the port of Mangaratiba, fetching heavy loads of iron ore bound for especially European ports. As such, the port of Mangaratiba is one of the largest in Brazil.[citation needed]
The municipality of Mangaratiba has been suffering from what has been described as a "strong political crisis".[3] Many of the recent city's mayors have been arrested during their terms, which at times have triggered supplementary elections at odd years outside of the usual 4-year cycle.
| Name | Took office | Left office | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aarão de Moura Brito Neto | 2005 | 2010 | Aarão Neto and his vice-mayor, Marcelo Tenório da Cruz, were accused of abuse of power, purchase of votes and irregular campaigning on local newspapers. They were removed from office in 2010, and were made ineligible for 4 years after what would be the end of their term.[4] This was clarified in 2018 by the Superior Electoral Court, who specified Aarão's ineligibility lasted from 5 October 2008 through 5 October 2016.[5] |
| Edison Ramos | 7 October 2010 | 1 March 2011 | Acted as interim mayor through the transition. Edison would later also be a fugitive (and subsequently be arrested) along with Vitinho during the 2018 investigations.[6] |
| Evandro Bertino Jorge ("Evandro Capixaba") | 1 March 2011 | 17 April 2015 | After Aarão's removal from office, a supplementary election was held and in 2011 Evandro Jorge was elected with 55.76% of the vote.[7] In 2013, he was reelected and served until 2015. That year, Evandro would be arrested,[8] and later sentenced to 52 years in prison for the embezzlement of R$ 10 million between March 2011 and December 2013.[9] |
| Ruy Tavares Quintanilha | 17 April 2015 | 2016 | Acted as interim mayor through the transition. |
| Aarão de Moura Brito Neto | 2016 | 14 June 2018 | In 2016, Aarão campaigned and was reelected. However, in 2018 the Superior Electoral Court intervened since, as they reasoned, the elections took place on 2 October 2016 and Aarão's ineligibility would only end on 5 October 2016, so he was elected before he could even have campaigned.[3][10] |
| Vitor Tenório Santos ("Vitinho") | 29 June 2018 | 31 August 2018 | After Aarão was removed from office, the president of the municipal council ("Câmara de Vereadores" of Mangaratiba), Vitinho, assumed as interim mayor.[3] A couple of months after taking office, there was an arrest warrant out for Vitinho, during an investigation on over R$17 million spent by the municipal council on travels.[11] Vitinho was deemed a fugitive of the law until 2021, when he was found and arrested.[12] |
| Carlos Alberto Ferreira Graçano ("Charles da Locadora") | 11 September 2018 | 20 November 2018 | There was some controversy when Charles took office as mayor. He was acting as interim president of the municipal council after Vitinho had become mayor. With Vitinho's disappearance, Charles then took the opportunity to become interim mayor, but the Ministério Público deemed there should be an election to decide the city council's president, who would then become interim mayor.[13][14] |
| Alan Campos da Costa ("Alan Bombeiro", lit. 'Alan the Firefighter') | 2018 | 11 February 2022 | Elected during a supplementary election in 2018 and reelected in 2020.[3] Alan and his vice-mayor, Alcimar Moreira Carvalho, were removed from office in 2022 and made ineligible for 8 years, accused of abuse of power for hiring almost 2 thousand people as a means to buy votes for the reelection.[15] |
