Mar-a-Lago Manager’s Plea Delayed Pending Local Legal Counsel Acquisition

A recent legal development in Florida involved the Mar-a-Lago property manager, Carlos De Oliveira, who has been accused of attempting to delete surveillance footage at the property. A federal judge presiding over the matter has stated that court rules necessitate De Oliveira acquires local legal counsel before his proceedings can move forward. Consequently, De Oliveira’s not guilty plea could not be accepted at the time, thereby prompting the setting of another arraignment for August 15, 2023.
