Benevenuto Daciolo Fonseca dos Santos (born 30 March 1976),[1] known as Cabo Daciolo (Corporal Daciolo in English), is a Brazilian military firefighter and politician, affiliated to Patriota (PATRI). In 2014, he was elected federal deputy from Rio de Janeiro. Expelled from PSOL in 2015,[2] he affiliated himself to AVANTE and now, member of the PATRI, is pre-candidate for President of Brazil.[3]

He is married to Cristiane Daciolo and father of 3 children.[4]

Daciolo gained notoriety in 2011, when he was one of the leaders of the firefighters' strike in Rio de Janeiro. The strikes occupied the headquarters of the corporation and camped in the staircases of the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro (ALERJ). Daciolo was arrested and detained for nine days in the Gericinó Penitentiary Complex.[5]

Political career

He was elected federal deputy for Rio de Janeiro in the state election of 2014.[6]

On May 2015, PSOL National Directory voted, 53 to 1, to expel Daciolo from the party after he proposed a constitutional amendment to alter the first paragraph of the Brazilian Constitution from "all power comes from the people" to "all power comes from God", which, according to the party, harms the secular State. In addition, on March 2015, Daciolo angered PSOL after he defended the release of the 12 cops accused of participating of the torture and death of the bricklayer Amarildo Dias de Souza in 2013.[2] In the same meeting, PSOL also voted, 31 to 24, to not claim Daciolo's term to the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).[2]

On December 2017, it was reported the acquition of Daciolo by the Supreme Federal Court based in a law proposed by him when he was subject of a lawsuit. Daciolo was a defendant in a criminal lawsuit for criminal association (Article 288, single paragraph, Penal Code) and for many other devices of the National Security Law, but benefited from his own law, which pardoned firefighters and military police officers from many states that had participation in strikes between 2011 and 2015.[7]

In 28 March 2018, he was chosen by Patriota as pre-candidate for President of Brazil in the 2018 general election.[3]
