Singer Amado Batista apologizes in court for insulting Lula’s family

247 – Singer Amado Batista apologized to businessman Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, known as Lulinha, son of former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), after being the subject of a complaint criminal for injury. The two men reached an agreement this week at the Pernambuco Court of Justice (TJ-PE). In his retraction, the artist apologized to Lulinha for attributing “serious offenses” to him and for his erroneous claims that the businessman “was illegally enriched”.

“Although I said that Fábio Luís Lula da Silva would be a landowner and cattle owner in Mato Grosso and Pará, I recognize that this information came to my knowledge from mere irresponsible rumors spread in society,” said Batista. The report was published this Tuesday (21) by the column of Monica Bergamo.

In an interview with the program “Frente a Frente”, broadcast by Rede Nordeste de Rádio, Amado Batista said last year that Lula and his children had committed thefts under the PT governments.

“Before Bolsonaro, Brazilian money was invested in helping communist countries,” said presenter Magno Martins, who said he quoted Tourism Minister Gilson Machado. Amado added, “Besides stealing like crazy, right? Besides stealing like crazy. There are people who were poor before communism here, before the left, and who are millionaires today.”

“I, AMADO RODRIGUES BATISTA, singer and businessman, publicly retract the offenses and expressions unfairly uttered against FÁBIO LUIS LULA DA SILVA in an interview given to journalist Magno Martins on May 28, 2021, published on the social network YouTube and with impact in various media.

I apologize to FÁBIO LUÍS LULA DA SILVA for the unfair way in which I attributed serious offenses to him, as well as I admit that my statements that I illegally enriched myself were erroneous.

Although having said that FÁBIO LUÍS LULA DA SILVA would be a landowner and owner of cattle in Mato Grosso and Pará, I ACKNOWLEDGE that this information has been brought to my attention from mere irresponsible rumors spread in society.

Thus, I come to formally retract the expressions used in the interview, because I never had evidence to prove what was said.
