Débora do batom's defense requests sentence reduction from Supreme Court after Congress overturns veto

2 sources · 02 May 2026 · Share coverage ·

The defense of Débora Rodrigues dos Santos, known as Débora do batom, requested the Supreme Court to reduce her 14-year prison sentence. The request was made after Congress overturned the presidential veto on the Dosimetry Bill, which allows sentence reductions for those who acted in a "crowd context" during the January 8th events.

Débora Rodrigues dos Santos became known for writing 'you lost, dummy' on the Justice statue during the January 8, 2023 events in Brasília. The Dosimetry Bill, recently approved by Congress, allows sentence reduction of one-third to two-thirds for defendants who acted in a 'crowd context,' provided they did not finance the acts or exercise a leadership role.
