The Federal District Court convicted a woman of racial insult against two security guards of the Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Flávio Dino.
The penalty imposed was one year and five months in prison, but the sentence was converted into provision of services to the community.
With the decision, Elisângela Rocha Pires de Jesus must compensate the security guards in R$5,680, in addition to the provision of services.
The case of injury occurred on December 29, 2022 in a mall from Brasilia.
According to the accusation made by the Public Ministry, the woman approached the minister in the commercial establishment and started calling him a “thief” and “tramp” and accused him of “stealing the country”.
When she was restrained by the police officers who provided the minister’s personal security and was arrested, the woman called the professionals “monkeys” and made prejudiced comments when referring to Maranhão, the home state of the minister and the security guards.
In the decision handed down on November 30, judge Marcos Francisco Batista recognized that there was a crime in the offenses committed by the accused.
“There is no doubt, therefore, regarding the practice of racial insult, due to the national origin of the victims, since the accused used expressions that, in that context, were notoriously used to offend the victims, in clear discrimination due to their origin “, stated the magistrate.
THE Brazil Agency seeks contact with the accused’s defense. The space is open for manifestation.
During the process, the lawyers defended the acquittal of the accused as they understood that the statements did not constitute a crime.
