Marco Antonio Heredia Viveros

Marco Antonio Heredia Viveros is known for being the ex-husband of Maria da Penha, a prominent activist against femicide in Brazil. He was convicted for his violent actions against Maria, including two attempts on her life, but served only a brief prison sentence of two years. His case has drawn significant media attention, particularly during a political campaign in Brazil that sought to undermine Maria da Penha's narrative and promote a version of events that casts doubt on her plight.
