Minister Marco Buzzi turns 68 while away from STJ duties

Superior Court of Justice (STJ) Minister Marco Buzzi turned 68 last week while suspended from his duties due to a sexual harassment complaint. An extraordinary tribunal meeting, called to address serious revelations about the case, coincided with the judge's birthday.

Marco Buzzi, a minister of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), turned 68 years old last week. The judge has been suspended from his duties since being accused by an 18-year-old woman of sexual harassment on a beach in Santa Catarina.

Last Wednesday, the STJ held an extraordinary meeting to discuss serious revelations published by Radar, from Veja magazine. By coincidence, this session took place exactly on Buzzi's birthday, when he faced questions from the entire court.

Buzzi's suspension underscores the gravity of the accusations against him, stemming from an incident on a Santa Catarina beach. The complaint, filed by an 18-year-old woman, sparked significant attention and prompted the special meeting. Despite the personal milestone, attention remained on the case's implications for the court's integrity.

No further details are available on the investigation's progress or decisions from the meeting, but the episode illustrates challenges for judicial officials in personal conduct matters.
