Overview

• The Ministério Público Federal filed an appellate opinion at TRF‑3 urging that Léo Lins remain convicted but with adjusted sentencing.
• Prosecutor Vinícius Fermino argues the case should be classified as concurso formal, counting six violations under Law 7.716/1989 and one under the disability statute.
• The filing asks to recalibrate monetary penalties to roughly 44 minimum wages (about R$53,000) and to reduce collective moral damages, citing proportionality and declared income.
• The first‑instance ruling by Judge Barbara de Lima Iseppi imposed eight years, three months and nine days in prison in an initially closed regime for practicing and inciting prejudice.
• The case stems from the 2022 stand‑up video ‘Perturbador,’ removed from YouTube in August 2023 after more than 3 million views, with the judge citing its reach and context as aggravating factors; the appeals court has not yet ruled.
