Um vídeo que circula nas redes sociais mostra o momento do furto de chocolates realizado por quatro pessoas em uma unidade das Lojas Americanas em Suzano, região metropolitana de São Paulo, sobreposto a uma reportagem da CNN que mostra o discurso de Flávio Dino defendendo que não se aplique a pena de prisão para crimes menos graves. A imagem também é acompanhada do texto “já pode roubar à vontade”.
Publisher’s rating: Enganoso
The theft was reported on January 26, 2024, and Americanas said it happened in Suzano on the same day as that report. Dino’s speech came later, on January 31; the review says the video’s editing and captions misleadingly suggest a causal link and imply that he encouraged theft.
