Renan Santos Renews Attacks Following Court Order on Safadão Video

Overview

• Santos criticized Wesley Safadão again Monday on Instagram and said he is studying legal steps to curb shows paid with public money.
• A Ceará court on April 27 ordered Santos to remove his video accusing the singer of corruption and to stop posting similar claims under a daily penalty.
• Facebook was notified to take down the material, and the video is no longer available on the platform.
• Safadão said he committed no crime and described the performances as regular work, while his lawyer said authorities never opened a case against him.
• Santos argues that municipalities use big-name concerts for political promotion, highlighting a broader fight in Brazil over how poorer cities spend on culture during an election year.
