This video, violating a court order, showed the alleged victim dancing with friends and even disclosed her full name. Lucía Alves took to Instagram to defend her actions, asserting her son’s innocence and hinting at a possible conspiracy. The video quickly became viral, drawing international attention.
In response to the uproar, Lucía, along with her lawyer Graciele Queiroz, claimed that Lucía was misled into sharing the video.
“Mrs. Lucía did not commit any crime. In fact, she was deceived by messages. How did they get her number and do they know who the alleged victim was? Something is wrong; let’s prove the truth”
This raised questions about how she obtained the victim’s personal information.
