Diego Bravo defamation trial in Costa Rica

Overview

The judicial process against content creator Diego Bravo began at the Goicoechea Criminal Court in Costa Rica. The trial stems from a 2022 lawsuit filed by presenter Mauricio Hoffmann and makeup artist María José ‘Majo’ Ulate, who are seeking 10 million colones in damages for 15 counts of defamation.

A central dispute in the case involves the form of an apology, with the plaintiffs demanding a public statement while Bravo has expressed a preference for a private apology. During initial hearings, the plaintiffs' counsel advised them to step out while the indictment was read due to their status as witnesses.

Proceedings continued at the Second Judicial Circuit Court in San José. The case involves allegations of crimes against honor resulting from Bravo’s videos and posts, which the plaintiffs claim caused professional and emotional harm. The trial progressed following a period in mid-September when Bravo traveled to Europe.
