Overview

  • Marcão do Povo submitted a notícia-crime to the Barueri Civil Police seeking the removal of a Dec. 19 video posted by Ludmilla.
  • He alleges the video falsely imputes criminal conduct to him and undermines a Superior Tribunal de Justiça decision cited by his defense as absolving him.
  • Authorities opened an inquiry to examine the presenter’s requests, with no resolution announced so far.
  • Ludmilla has rejected a tribute proposed by SBT and says he avoided consequences through a procedural maneuver after courts recognized discriminatory conduct.
  • The Ministry of Racial Equality issued an official note repudiating the racist episode and expressing solidarity with the singer, as the presenter remains on air at SBT’s Primeiro Impacto.
