Brazilian court may reduce Xuxa's plagiarism payment

terra.com.br (Portuguese)

A Brazilian court is considering reducing Xuxa's plagiarism-related indemnity payment from R$50 million to R$3 million. This follows a long-running legal battle with publicist Leonardo Soltz. The Superior Tribunal of Justice (STJ) is currently deadlocked on the decision. The proposed reduction stems from a claim that the initial financial execution was inconsistent with the original ruling regarding the "Turma do Cabralzinho" characters. The final decision rests with Minister Nancy Andrighi, whose vote will determine the ultimate indemnity amount. The case has spanned nearly two decades, involving accusations of plagiarism and numerous appeals.
