Cristian Baroni Investigated After Ex-Wife Alleges Domestic Violence and Unauthorized Entry

A complaint filed at São Caetano do Sul's women's police unit led authorities to open an inquiry, with the complainant pursuing protective measures under Brazil's Maria da Penha law.

Overview

  • The ex-wife registered a police report on Jan. 7 at the Women's Defense Police Station in São Caetano do Sul, and the Civil Police inquiry was confirmed by the state public security department.
  • Authorities recorded the case as domestic violence, threat and exercise of arbitrary rights, and the unit's lead delegate will analyze the file.
  • In her account, she alleges that on Jan. 2 Baroni entered her apartment without consent using a locksmith, ransacked the space and changed the lock, blocking her and the children from entering.
  • She reported receiving threats after traveling with the children in late December, including warnings she would be forced out of the apartment, lose her car and face loss of custody.
  • The pair were together for about 23 years and separated in 2023; she says there was prior aggression and has hired an attorney to proceed with divorce and asset division, while Baroni has not publicly responded.
