Ribeirão Preto Opens Disciplinary Case Against 'Esquerdogata' Over 100+ Medical Certificates

The move follows her release under nightly home confinement, with a criminal probe into contempt, resistance and racial insult progressing through a request to access her seized phone.

Overview

  • Mayor Ricardo Silva initiated a disciplinary process to verify the authenticity of more than 100 medical notes and a history of absences, a review that could lead to dismissal within 60–90 days.
  • The city council formally requested her removal from the municipal teaching post, and the local PT said it will evaluate possible expulsion at its November 4 meeting.
  • Police report that the 45-year-old influencer was detained on October 25 after filming a traffic stop and insulting officers, with the case registered as desacato, resistência and injúria racial.
  • A custody judge granted provisional release with nightly home confinement from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and proof every 60 days of psychological treatment, and the Civil Police asked the court to break her phone’s secrecy.
  • Her lawyers attribute the episode to alcohol combined with controlled medication, say she intends to apologize and seek treatment for alcoholism, and note prior 2025 rulings that imposed fines and up to R$50,000 in damages to police.
