Recidivist SERIAL- Russomanno, on his third flagrant: "I have done nothing irregular" (Silvia Costanti / Folhapress)
Being good for both parties ... "The staff created in the 90s for a consumer protection framework for a TV show he repeats to this day. Since then, however, much has changed in the life of Celso Russomanno. former office boy, social former columnist and TV host, he entered politics, he was elected federal deputy for the PSDB, ran for mayor of St. Andrew by the PPB, the governor of São Paulo by the PP and in 2012 the mayor of the city by the PRB. At the time, came to occupy the first place in the race (finished third, out of the second round).
