Delcídio do Amaral Gomez (born February 2, 1955) is a Brazilian politician. He has represented Mato Grosso do Sul in the Federal Senate since 2003. He is a member of the Workers' Party.[1] He represents the ruling Worker's Party in the Senate and is the head of the Senate's economic affairs committee.[2] Amaral was arrested in November 2015 for allegedly taking kickbacks from Petrobras. A Supreme Court judge, Teori Zavascki, said he authorised the arrest after seeing evidence that Amaral had planned the flight of Petrobras’s former international director, Nestor Cerveró, in return for his silence.[2][3]
