Bruno Calls Off First Meeting With Son, Citing Suspected Trap

Overview

• Bruno announced he canceled the scheduled first encounter with his son, alleging unusual demands to attend alone and a suspected setup involving hidden cameras and a well-known reporter.
• Family representatives Maria do Carmo and Sônia deny any ambush, say the meeting would have included only the four of them with no press, and report that Bruno never confirmed attendance.
• Bruninho says he agreed to hear his father's account but that Bruno did not show up, and he now intends to seek unpaid child support.
• Bruno's legal team says he was pressured to go without a lawyer to an undisclosed location and advised him not to attend due to legal and personal risk.
• A protective court order limits Bruno's approach to his son, and separate attention has been renewed by the recent discovery of Eliza Samúdio’s passport in Portugal, which is being processed through diplomatic channels.
