Maria Rezenda Capucci

Maria Rezenda Capucci is a Brazilian federal prosecutor who recently concluded an investigation into former President Jair Bolsonaro regarding allegations of animal harassment during a jet ski outing. Capucci determined that while Bolsonaro's actions may have violated minimum distance regulations, there was insufficient evidence to prove he intended to disturb the humpback whale involved, leading to the case's dismissal. Her decision highlights the complexities of legal interpretations concerning wildlife protections in Brazil.
