A court has ordered Twitter to delete a post by Glenn Greenwald that calls Moro a "corrupt judge."
According to Judge Austregésilo Trevisan of the 17th Civil Court of Curitiba, the publication constitutes "abuse of the right to expression/communication."
247 - According to Fausto Macedo, a judge in Curitiba ordered... State St. Paul✓ that Twitter remove a post in which American journalist Glenn Greenwald refers to former biased judge Sergio Moro as a "corrupt judge".
"The corrupt Brazilian judge who imprisoned Lula in 2018 to prevent him from running for president and then went to work for Bolsonaro as Minister of Justice (just to stop accusing Bolsonaro of corruption), is now running for president, accusing Bolsonaro and Lula of being pro-Russia," Greenwald had written.
Moro then filed a lawsuit for compensation for moral damages – with a claim value of R$100 – against the journalist.
According to Judge Austregésilo Trevisan of the 17th Civil Court of Curitiba, "since the publication made by the defendant attributes the adjective 'corrupt' to the plaintiff, without, as far as is known, effective proof, even by means of a final and unappealable court decision, with the apparent intention of publicly harming his image, limiting itself to pure offense and devoid of any desire to narrate a fact, it appears, prima facie, to be an abuse of the right to expression/communication."
He ordered Twitter to delete the post, under penalty of a daily fine of R$ 5.
