Corinthians Fan Known for Pig-Head Stunt Held in Preventive Detention on Rape Charge

Overview

• Police arrested Osni Fernando Luiz on Sunday after a sex worker reported he assaulted and raped her in his car following an arranged R$150 encounter.
• Officers traced him to his home using the BMW’s license plate the woman photographed, and a judge later converted the in‑the‑act arrest to preventive detention at a custody hearing.
• The woman was found in distress and taken to the Hospital da Mulher for care, and São Paulo’s public security office requested forensic exams.
• The investigation is registered as rape at the 4th Women’s Police Station in São Paulo, which handles crimes against women.
• His lawyers deny the accusation and say he paid for sex, while Luiz is widely known online and was convicted last year for throwing a pig’s head onto the Corinthians pitch, a symbol tied to rival Palmeiras.
