Fausto Ruy Pinato (born 1 June 1977) is a Brazilian politician and lawyer. He has spent his political career representing São Paulo, having served as federal deputy representative since 2015.[1]

Personal life

He was a lawyer prior to entering politics. His brother Gustavo Pinato is a member of the São Paulo state senate, serving as a councilman representing Fernandópolis.[2] He is a member of the Christian Congregation in Brazil and is a musician in the church.[3]

Political career

Pinato was elected federal deputy of São Paulo in 2014, after being endorsed by his predecessor Celso Russomanno for the Brazil Republican party candidate.[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]
