Marcelo Serrado has resigned from his public office at Rio de Janeiro City Hall. The actor, who currently stars in Globo’s soap opera Cara e Coragem, has been artistic director of the cultural complex Cidade das Artes for a year and nine months since the current government of the capital city of Rio de Janeiro took office on January 1, 2021. The removal was published in the municipality’s gazette last Tuesday (13/9) and comes shortly after a Band News report denounced instances of phantom employees at the agency.
The article published on September 6th does not mention Marcelo Serrado, who assured that he left the post because he could not reconcile his work with the shots of the global features section. “I left for personal reasons. I’ve been trying to get out for a while,” the actor explained in an interview with Folha de São Paulo. The newspaper also noted that he received a salary of R$8,000.

Serrado was hired to manage the cultural complex by Daniela Maia, then president of Riotur, a Rio tourism company, and her then sisterinlaw. She is also the daughter of former mayor Cesar Maia, author of the cultural project, which took ten years to build and has a budget of R$ 560 million.
