Legal dispute over Senator Romário's salary garnishment

Overview

The Court of Justice of São Paulo upheld a ruling to garnish 30% of Senator Romário’s monthly salary to satisfy a moral-damage indemnity owed to former CBF president Marco Polo Del Nero. The debt, totaling approximately R$ 34.4 thousand, stems from 2013 statements made by Romário in which he suggested Del Nero should be “imprisoned” and serve “one hundred years in jail.”

Romário appealed the decision, claiming the deduction would cause an “irreversible material impact” on his financial subsistence and arguing his comments were protected by parliamentary immunity. However, the tribunal rejected the appeal, finding no evidence of imminent irreparable harm and maintaining the salary seizure until the debt is fully paid.
