Olavo de Carvalho will "pretend" to the court that he was not notified in the Caetano Veloso case.
Last year, the court ordered a daily fine of 10.000 reais if the defamatory post against Caetano was not deleted. He did not remove it, and the bill reached 2,8 million reais.
Forum - Olavo de Carvalho, the astrologer and guru of President Jair Bolsonaro (Independent-RJ), has been ordered to pay millions in damages to singer and songwriter Caetano Veloso. This time, he is attempting one last, desperate move in court, with minimal chances of success.
His defense will argue that he was not notified of the lawsuit because he lives in the United States. Olavo led a campaign against Caetano on social media, back in 2017, claiming that he is a "pedophile" because he began his relationship with his wife, Paula Lavigne, when she was still very young.
Last year, the court ordered a daily fine of 10,000 reais if the defamatory post was not deleted. He did not remove it, and the bill reached 2,8 million reais. There is also a real possibility that the court will order the freezing of assets to pay the fine.
