The event attended by the Minister of Communications, Fábio Faria, on Friday (7) in the United States with blogger Allan dos Santos, considered a fugitive by the police, also had the presence of the doctor Victor Sorrentino, detained in Egypt last year. because of a video in which he said sexual offenses to a Muslim saleswoman.
The doctor published a photo of the dinner on social media, accompanied by Faria, and quoted a biblical text.
Sorrentino, who was released by the Egyptian authorities and returned to Brazil saying he had behaved “childishly and unhappyly” at the time, was defended by lawyer Felipe Pedri, now head of the Audiovisual Secretariat, of the Bolsonaro government’s Special Secretariat for Culture.
After the repercussion of the event this weekend, the minister released a note saying that he would not have attended if he had known that Allan dos Santos would participate. According to him, there was no indication that among those present would be someone with problems in Brazilian justice.
