Folha de S.PauloCrime & justice

Publicação afirma que Miriam Leitão foi acusada de assaltos em agências bancárias com arma de fogo durante a ditadura militar. O post chama a jornalista de “Amélia” e afirma que ela teria sido anistiada.

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review says there are no records that Miriam Leitão was accused of armed bank robberies. It reports that she was arrested in 1972 for political reasons and acquitted in August 1974—five years before the Amnesty Law was enacted in 1979, so the acquittal was not an amnesty.
