Overview
- Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet filed the complaint on March 4 at the Supreme Federal Court, where it is under secrecy with Justice André Mendonça as rapporteur.
- The filing references depositions from Federal Police authorities, including director Andrei Rodrigues, who described Anielle Franco leaving a May 2023 meeting visibly shaken.
- Almeida’s defense denies any wrongdoing and says it has not yet received access to the complaint’s contents.
- If the court accepts the charge, Almeida becomes a defendant and could face penalties reported to total up to ten years, while other allegations were sent to first-instance courts or flagged for possible prescription.
- Anielle Franco called the move a step toward recognition of the truth and said it may encourage more women to report violence.
