Administrative misconduct is the true "pathology" of Brazilian public life and must be tackled. However, this does not legitimize the State's use of the Public Prosecutor's Office, one of the State's many institutions responsible for the defense of our society and, does not justify the counties prosecutors (art 127, §1 of the Constitution) misdeeds in municipal administrations, which can be penalized by State intervention. In addition, in regards to the special jurisdiction of the magistrates of the lower courts, a prerogative is granted to the mayor by the article 29, line X, of the Brazilian Constitution. Furthermore, the objective of this study is to contribute to the debate of "Administrative Misconduct"; to analyze State intervention to the detriment of the Municipality's constitutional autonomy and its relation to the courts; and to relate to a former mayor that is facing criminal liability for administrative misconduct, which was committed by his agent with delegated powers that were extended via decree of administrative decentralization. This research was made possible with the use of literature (doctrine) and documents (jurisprudence); these methods helped elucidate and answer this study's main question.
