Overview

  • The 1st Civil Chamber of the TJ-SC ruled unanimously on Oct. 30 to grant Lula's appeal and impose moral-damages compensation.
  • The case centers on banners flown by planes along Santa Catarina beaches in the 2019/2020 season with offensive messages about Lula.
  • Court records cite phrases such as "Lula cachaceiro, devolve meu dinheiro" and "Lula na cadeia, eu com o pé na areia" as evidence of personal offense.
  • The damages were set at R$33,000, and Luciano Hang retains the right to appeal the decision.
  • As of Friday, reporters said Hang had not publicly commented, and Lula's lawyers Ângelo Ferraro and Miguel Novaes confirmed the appellate outcome.
