It is worth remembering that in 2012, Google Director-General in Brazil, Fbio Jos Silva Coelho, was arrested by the Federal Police (PF) in So Paulo on suspicion of a crime of disobedience. The executive was released after signing a term in which he pledged to attend Justice if summoned. The arrest was determined by the Electoral Justice of Mato Grosso do Sul, because YouTube did not take down two videos against the mayoral candidate of Campo Grande Alcides Bernal (PP).
