The parents of a young woman who accused Minister Marco Buzzi of sexual harassment reported the incident to his wife shortly after it occurred, revealing her disbelief based on obtained messages.
The parents of an 18-year-old girl who has accused Marco Buzzi, a minister of Brazil's Superior Court of Justice (STJ), of sexual harassment, shared the details of the incident with his wife shortly after it allegedly took place. Messages obtained by Folha reveal that Katcha Buzzi, the minister's wife, expressed disbelief regarding the accusations, saying, 'I don't know what to say. I never imagined this.' This statement indicates her shock and sense of turmoil over the situation. The alleged incident reportedly occurred on January 9 at a beach in Balneário Camboriú, where the minister owns a home.
In response to these allegations, Katcha Buzzi has publicly stated that her disbelief is consistent with the content of the messages, which highlight her initial shock and emphasize that such accusations would be unfathomable to her. She asserted that her marriage has been strong and respectful for 43 years, and she denies the allegations against her husband vehemently. This public defense underlines the personal and familial strain that accusations of this nature can impose, particularly when they involve a high-profile figure such as a judicial minister.
The case is currently under investigation by the São Paulo Civil Police, which adds layers of complexity to the public discourse surrounding the accusations. Given Buzzi's position as a minister in a prominent judicial institution in Brazil, this incident raises important questions about accountability, the handling of sexual harassment claims by public officials, and the broader implications for victims who come forward with such allegations in the context of power dynamics.
