Police Open Inquiry After Marcão do Povo Files Complaint Over Ludmilla Video

Overview

• Ludmilla’s December 19 video challenged Marcão do Povo’s public claim of judicial absolution and criticized what she called a procedural maneuver.
• The presenter filed a notícia-crime with the Civil Police in Barueri seeking removal of the video and alleging the singer imputed criminal conduct to him.
• Police opened an inquiry to examine his representation and the requests it makes regarding the contested post.
• The Ministry of Racial Equality issued an official note condemning the racism suffered by Ludmilla and expressing solidarity with her.
• Marcão asserts the STJ absolved him in December 2024 and that the ruling stood on appeal in 2025, a characterization Ludmilla disputes as she also declined an SBT tribute over the network’s continued platforming of him.
