During the second day of the trial at the Supreme Federal Court (STF) concerning the murder of former councilwoman Marielle Franco and her driver Anderson Gomes, Marinete da Silva, Franco’s mother, experienced a health scare that required medical attention. The hearing, which took place on Wednesday (25), resumed with the rapporteur minister Alexandre de Moraes delivering his vote in the morning.

Around 10 AM, Marinete da Silva left the courtroom visibly emotional, accompanied by her daughter Anielle Franco. She was attended to in a support room adjacent to the hearing chamber, where paramedics provided her with assistance. Reports suggest that the health issue may have been related to a spike in blood pressure, highlighting the emotional toll the trial has on the family and those closely involved.

As the trial progresses, the family of Marielle Franco has requested privacy during these trying moments, emphasizing the ongoing emotional impact this case has on them. The court's proceedings are highly followed and involve significant public interest, as Marielle Franco's murder remains a critical issue in Brazil's fight against political violence and social justice for marginalized communities.
