Leila Pereira files defamation case over graffiti after Palmeiras loss | OneFootball

On January 20, Palmeiras lost 4-0 to Novorizontino in the first phase of the Campeonato Paulista. Because of the result, some fans spray-painted the walls of the Allianz Parque ticket office with phrases such as “Leila, stealing is your business,” “Abel, is the magic over?”, “shameless team” and “SPAlmeiras”.

Those responsible were detained, and the club filed a police report. A police investigation was opened, with security camera footage serving as evidence of what happened.

Leila Pereira files criminal complaint

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Leila Pereira filed a criminal complaint against Murylo Mikael Santos, who was identified and admitted to being responsible for the graffiti with the phrase “Leila, stealing is your business.”

The Palmeiras president believes the fan “attributed a fact gravely offensive to her reputation” and “made a serious insult.”

– Thus, after a simple reading of that graffiti, it is clear that the Defendant attributed a fact gravely offensive to the Complainant’s reputation, notably related to her professional activity, thereby directly harming her objective honor (and also her subjective honor).

– All things considered, by spray-painting “Leila, stealing is your business,” the Defendant made a serious insult against the Complainant, above all because he conveyed the message, albeit in a vague and generic manner, that she makes “theft” (used in a non-technical sense) her “business” (that is, her livelihood). Therefore, the crime of defamation is indisputable

– at the end of the proceedings, with authorship, materiality, and the causal link proven as they are, may the Defendant be convicted under the penalties of article 139, caput, with the aggravating factors of article 141, items III and IV, all of the Brazilian Penal Code, so that he may serve the penalty abstractly provided by the criminal legislature, as this distinguished Court may specifically determine, for the criminal act he committed against the Complainant’s honor (objective and subjective).
