The Court accepted the complaint from the São Paulo State Public Prosecutor’s Office against Rogério Cardoso Júnior, aged 64, and made him a defendant for intentional bodily injury against a woman and animal abuse.
He is accused of kicking lawyer Caroline Zanin, 43 years old, sister of Federal Supreme Court (STF) minister Cristiano Zanin, and her dogs.
The decision was made by judge Isaura Cristina Barreira, of the 30th Criminal Court of the Barra Funda Forum, of the São Paulo Court of Justice (TJSP), and was published this Wednesday (22/11). The defendant has 10 days to respond in the first stage of the action.
Rogério had been denounced by the São Paulo Public Ministry (MPSP) at the beginning of November.
The case happened on October 16th. In the images captured by security cameras, it is possible to see the lawyer waiting to enter the condominium where she lives, in the neighborhood of Perdizes, west of São Paulo, when Rogério arrives.
At the time, Zanin’s sister filed a police report with the Civil Police for attacks on her and her dogs.
According to the police report, to which CNN had access, Caroline reported that the man approached her and said he would kick her and her dogs.
