Bolsonaro will have to pay Boulos's lawyer fees after losing his case in court.

Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) will have to pay the legal fees of federal deputy Guilherme Boulos (PSOL-SP) after losing a lawsuit for moral damages . The decision was signed this Wednesday 1st by the Brasília Court.

In February of this year, the courts rejected a lawsuit in which the former president sought 50,000 reais in damages for his involvement in the murder of Marielle Franco . In an interview with CNN , Boulos allegedly insinuated that Bolsonaro had some connection to the crime.

Judge Júlio César Lérias Ribeiro understood that the facts were time-barred and, furthermore, parliamentary immunity protected and freedom of expression protected the PSOL member.

After the decision, Boulos' defense asked the court to enforce the ruling in the case and it was determined that Bolsonaro would have to bear the costs and fees, set at 10% of the value of the case – 5 thousand reais.

If the former captain fails to pay within 15 days, according to the ruling, a 10% fine and additional fees will be applied to the debt. An appeal is still possible.
