The Public Prosecutor's Office (MP) in Brazil has officially charged influencer Aline Bardy Dutra, known as 'Esquerdogata', for racial slander against military police during a police operation in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, in October 2025. The MP's charges include three criminal offenses: contempt, resistance, and racial slander. As of the latest update, the court had not yet made a decision regarding the acceptance of the charges.

This legal action comes just ahead of a scheduled mental health assessment for Dutra, indicating a significant escalation in the case against her. Her attorney has expressed confidence in her eventual acquittal, particularly concerning the racial slander accusation. He mentioned plans to present evidence and witnesses that could potentially lead to a favorable outcome in court.

The case highlights issues surrounding the intersection of social media influence and law enforcement interactions in Brazil, raising questions about public conduct and the potential repercussions of comments made online. As the situation develops, it may not only affect Dutra's career but also contribute to ongoing discussions about racism and accountability for public figures in the country.
