A Rio de Janeiro court has sentenced Eduardo Fauzi to four years and eight months in prison for the 2019 attack on the Porta dos Fundos production company headquarters. The ruling came from the 35th Criminal Court of the Capital.
The sentence, issued on May 6, 2026, ordered Fauzi to serve the term in a closed regime. Judge Renata Guarino Martins denied bail pending appeal, citing the defendant's flight to Russia after the crime.
The attack took place in the early hours of December 24, 2019, when Fauzi hurled Molotov cocktails at the building in the Humaitá neighborhood. The act targeted the production company's Christmas special, which depicted Jesus Christ as gay.
Fauzi was arrested in Russia in 2020 by Interpol and extradited to Brazil in 2022. He admitted involvement in the attack but denied throwing the cocktails. His defense is still considering whether to appeal the conviction.
