Fausto Ruy Pinato (born 1 June 1977) is a Brazilian politician and lawyer. He has dedicated his political career representing São Paulo and has served as a federal deputy representative since 2015.[1]
Personal life[edit]
He was a lawyer before entering politics. His brother, Gustavo Pinato, is a member of the São Paulo State Senate, serving as a councilman representing Fernandópolis.[2] He is affiliated with the Christian Congregation in Brazil and is a musician in the church.[3]
Political career[edit]
Pinato was elected as a federal deputy of São Paulo in 2014, with the endorsement of his predecessor Celso Russomanno as the candidate for the Brazil Republican party.[4] Pinato was investigated during Operation Car Wash for allegedly taking R$ 117 thousand in bribes from Brazilian company Queiroz Galvão during his election campaign.[2] Pinato was initially part of an ethics committee investigation into Eduardo Cunha, but he resigned early on due to switching his party allegiance from the PRB to the PP.[2]
Pinato voted in favor of the impeachment against then-president Dilma Rousseff and political reformation.[5] He would later vote in against opening a corruption investigation against Rousseff's successor Michel Temer, and voted in favor of the 2017 Brazilian labor reforms.[6]
