Controversies

2010: "Impossible to Live on R$ 11,000"

In December 2010, Trad stirred controversy by stating during a legislative session that it was "impossible to live on R$ 11,000," referring to his monthly salary which had recently been increased to R$12,300.

2016: Unpaid Loan

In April 2016, it was revealed that Trad had obtained a R$1.2 million loan from the newspaper "Correio do Estado" during his 2014 re-election campaign. The loan was neither declared to the Regional Electoral Court of Mato Grosso do Sul (TRE-MS) nor repaid.

2016: Audio Leak

In September 2016, "Veja" magazine published excerpts from phone taps related to Operation Coffee Break, which investigated a scheme to impeach Mayor Alcides Bernal. In the recordings, councilor Flávio César (PSDB) asked former mayor Nelson Trad Filho to involve Marquinhos in garnering votes for the impeachment. Trad denied any involvement, stating he was unaware of the audio.

2016: TRE/MS Fine

In September 2016, businessman Arnaldo Britto de Moura Júnior claimed in a Federal Police deposition that he raised R$200,000 in undeclared funds for Trad's 2014 campaign, leading to a fine by TRE-MS. Trad denied the allegations, stating that Moura Júnior was merely a campaign donor.

2016: Deception Allegation

Later in September 2016, a social institution employee accused Trad of deception, claiming she was misled into attending a work meeting that was actually a campaign event. Trad denied the accusation, attributing it to political opponents.

2022: Sexual Assault Allegations

In November 2022, Trad was accused of sexual crimes by seven women.

In January 2022, Trad announced his candidacy for the governorship of Mato Grosso do Sul in the 2022 state elections. However, he lost the election on October 2, 2022.
