Brazilian judicial misconduct ruling

Overview

A court in São Paulo has ordered judge Eduardo Siqueira to pay R$ 54,000 in moral damages to a municipal civil guard in Santos. The ruling concerns a July 2020 incident during the COVID-19 pandemic, where Siqueira insulted the officer after being fined for not wearing a protective mask.

Footage from the incident showed the judge tearing up the fine and using derogatory language, including calling the officer an “analfabeto” (illiterate), while attempting to intimidate staff by citing professional connections. Following the incident, the National Council of Justice (CNJ) imposed compulsory retirement on Siqueira. The current ruling requires payment within 15 days, with additional fines and attorney fees applicable if the deadline is missed.
