Historical
In 2019, writer Olavo de Carvalho filed a criminal complaint against Caetano Veloso after the musician published an article in Folha de S.Paulo. The document called on the singer to answer for the crimes of libel, slander and insult.
Olavo's lawyer, Francisco Carlos Cabrera, who signed the petition, called the musician a “rogue,” “a criminal disguised as a columnist,” and said Eke had claimed to have been in exile (during the dictatorship) “but never showed any document.” Olavo said in his defense that the artist had violated his honor.
In 2021, the Rio court rejected another appeal from the Bolsonaro guru, who claimed he was unable to pay the entire amount to the singer and the debt was dragging on.
