The National Justice Oversight Board ordered the Minas Gerais Court of Justice and Judge Magid Nauef Láuar to provide explanations within five days regarding the decision acquitting a 35-year-old man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl in 2024. The acquittal, issued by the TJMG's 9th Specialized Criminal Chamber, sparked negative backlash and criticism from politicians and experts. The Minas Gerais Prosecutor's Office plans to appeal the ruling.
The National Council of Justice has heard five complaints of alleged sexual abuses by Judge Magid Nauef Láuar from the Minas Gerais Court of Justice. The accusations emerged after his controversial ruling in a rape case. The judge stated he will not comment on the reports.
