Overview

  • Judge Ana Luiza Madeiro Cruz Eserian granted urgent relief instructing Google, X, Kwai, and Meta’s Facebook and Instagram to remove the posts within five days.
  • Platforms must provide account data and connection records for the authors, with a R$1,000 daily fine for noncompliance.
  • José Ferreira da Silva (Frei Chico), vice-president of Sindnapi, filed the lawsuit contesting viral accusations and publicly denied involvement in illicit discounts.
  • Reporting indicates he is not among targets of the Federal Police’s Operação Sem Desconto into improper INSS deductions.
  • Congressional scrutiny continues as the INSS CPMI voted 19–11 against summoning him, while Sindnapi remains under CGU and Federal Police examination after revenues rose over 500% from 2020 to 2024.
