The Rio de Janeiro Court decided to convict medical student Yuri de Moura Alexandre of bodily harm and homophobic insult, accused of attacking actor Victor Meyniel, in September last year, after a party in Copacabana, in the south zone of the capital of Rio de Janeiro.
According to the decision of the 27th Criminal Court handed down last Wednesday (17), Yuri must serve a sentence of two years and eight months in a semi-open regime, but the defense can still appeal the sentence.
The magistrate denied the order of preventive detention, but also did not allow the sentence to be reversed in other lighter measures because the case occurred with great violence.
Remember the case
On September 2, 2023, actor Victor Meyniel, 26, was beaten at the entrance of a building in Copacabana by medical student Yuri de Moura Alexandre, who was arrested in the act.
Meyniel and Alexandre met at a nightclub and went to the medical student's apartment, according to the actor's statement. A friend of Meyniel arrived at the scene soon after.
The actor also reported that Alexandre kicked him out of the apartment and that they went down in different elevators, until they met again at the entrance, where the attacks took place.
A video from a security camera recorded the action and also the inaction of a doorman, who watched the beating without moving.
