Site wins appeal in criminal defamation case against fact-checking site Aos Fatos

"On March 1, the Justice of Rio de Janeiro accepted an appeal by Jornal da Cidade Online against Aos Fatos and its executive director, Tai Nalon, in which it accused them of crimes of defamation and unfair competition. The appeal was a response to a previous decision from the TJ-RJ, of September 2020, which had dismissed the criminal complaint filed by the newspaper as unfounded.
