Councilman Eduardo Moura is facing slander and defamation accusations after being filmed making an offensive gesture behind fellow councilman Chico Kiko during a session in Recife.

During a municipal session in Recife, Brazil, councilman Eduardo Moura was recorded making a 'horns' gesture behind his colleague, Chico Kiko, which has led to Kiko filing a complaint of slander and defamation.
