மத்தியப் பிரதேசத்தில் பழங்குடியினத்தைச் சேர்ந்த மனநலம் குன்றியவர் மீது ஒருவர் சிறுநீர் கழித்த காட்சி மிகவும் பயங்கரமான மற்றும் கவலைக்குரிய சம்பவம். இவை ஆணவம், உணர்வின்மை மற்றும் கொடூரமான குற்றம். அவர் கைது செய்யப்பட்டு உள்ளார். ஆனால், அது போதாது, அவருக்கு பாடம் கற்பிக்க வேண்டும். எதிர்க்கட்சிகள் கூறுவது போல் அவர் பாஜக உறுப்பினர் அல்ல. மேலும், இதுபோன்ற குற்றங்கள் அரசியல் வேறுபாடுகளுக்கு அப்பாற்பட்டதாக இருக்க வேண்டும்.

A esposa de Marcola acaba de ser  assassinada. queima de arquivo

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The claim paired a video of a woman being shot in a bakery with the message that Marcola’s wife had just been killed as a “queima de arquivo.” The review says the video and claim circulated on social networks and WhatsApp, but reports finding no reliable news of a recent killing of Marcola’s wife; it says the claim appeared only on social media. The review also notes the message’s vague, alarmist wording and lack of reliable sourcing. (The publisher describes the circulated wording as: “O texto que acompanha o vídeo tem características de fake news como o caráter vago, o tom alarmista (muito, por sinal), os erros de português e a falta de citação de fontes confiáveis que atestem a informação.”) The review traces the video to a different killing in Honduras, not an attack on Marcola’s wife in Brazil. It identifies the woman as Erika Yulissa Bandy García, wife of trafficker Magdaleno Meza, and says that she was killed in San Pedro Sula by eight men; two of her security guards were also killed. The review attributes those details to the Honduran site La Prensa. (The source states: “De fato, ele mostra a morte de uma esposa de um traficante. Mas, no caso, a execução é de Erika Yulissa Bandy García. Ela era esposa do traficante Magdaleno Meza.”) For the claim about Marcola’s current wife, the review identifies her as Cynthia Gigliola da Silva and says she was safe and well. It separately records that his former wife, Ana Maria Olivatto Herbas Camacho, was killed in 2002 by members of the PCC. That earlier death is not evidence that the video depicts a recent killing of his current wife. (The review says: “A esposa dele atual, Cynthia Gigliola da Silva, está segura e bem. Mas há apenas um registro a se fazer. A antiga esposa de Marcola, Ana Maria Olivatto Herbas Camacho, foi morta em 2002 por membros do próprio PCC.”)
