The story : May 2009.
The State Assembly decides they must take a vote on whether or not to impeach Representative Wallace because of the Task Force's 500-page assessment of wrongdoings.
Accused of a criminal organization , drug trafficking, and witness intimidation means Wallace has not kept to the ethics of his stature.
Also being accused of having an involvement with people with criminal backgrounds, which includes a disgraced Head of Intelligence Military policer.
Wallace attorney denies the claims, stating that it is not a crime for the two to have been friends and help each other fight crime.
Another part of Moa's statement claims Wallace and the Head of Intelligence plotted to kill or have killed Federal Judge Fraxe, which the judge believes.
A known hit man was asked to carry out the crime but refused and was later murdered, which Moa confirmed.
So much pressure from the media forced Assembly of Legislators to do their own investigation of Wallace's ethics.
The police reported to the media a number of deaths.
The media asked for proof but there was not any.
All the while Wallace's health was declining due to stress.
In July 2009 Wallace was in the hospital. The Legislators wanted a statement from him so he came to the court on a stretcher and gave one, causing quite a spectacle.
But his story never faltered from his earlier testimony, it was political prosecution.
Both the Task Force and Wallace needed the press and while in a Sao Paulo hospital a popular Brazilian new show called 'Fantastico' aired the Task Forces story against Wallace.
August 2009 , Wallace makes his second statement to the Assembly.
He is confident that the truth will save him.
Soon the International press was running with 'Fantastico''s lead and Brazil was divided.
After the State Reps were harrassed for the impeachment of Wallace they were forced to vote.
The vote made Wallace a common citizen once again and took him out of the office for the next 8 years.
That is when a warrant for his arrest was issued.
But Wallace, could not be found...
