Controversy

On October 15, 2008,

hostage negotiations.[9][10]

Abrão's show, which had a daily average of 2 points on

IBOPE, peaked at 5 points during the interview. According to sociologist and journalist Laurindo Leal Filho, who presented the program Ver TV on TV Câmara about ethics on television, the interference of a broadcaster in a case like this, besides being dangerous, is unconstitutional.[11] The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MP) decided to file a public civil action against the presenter for airing the interview. The MP stated that the interviews interfered with ongoing police activity and put the lives of the teenager and those involved in the operation at risk, and asked for a compensation of 1.5 million reais for collective moral damage.[12]

In response to the criticism, Abrão stated she "would do it all over again".[13]

She was a cousin of Charlie Brown Jr. frontman Alexandre Magno Abrão, better known as Chorão.[16]
