Prosecutors charged a Brazilian congresswoman, Evangelical pastor and Gospel singer Monday with ordering her children to murder her husband, a fellow pastor, last year in a dispute over money and power.
Famous for adopting dozens of street children from Rio de Janeiro’s slums, Congresswoman Flordelis dos Santos and pastor Anderson do Carmo were a power couple of Brazil’s burgeoning Evangelical Christian movement until he was killed in a hail of bullets at their home in the Rio suburb of Niteroi in June 2019.
