In January 2026, 29-year-old lawyer Agostina Páez was detained in Ipanema after witnesses captured her imitating monkey sounds during a bill dispute, charged under Brazil's Anti-Racism Law that treats such acts as crimes punishable by up to five years in prison. Brazil's framework, rooted in its 1988 Constitution and a history of slavery ending in 1888, makes racism non-bailable with no statute of limitations, distinguishing it from places like the U.S. where hate speech is often protected. The case drew backlash from Argentina urging boycotts, while Brazilians defended their zero-tolerance stance, highlighting global divides on free speech versus combating prejudice in a nation where over half identify as non-white.

Key Takeaway

An Argentine tourist's drunken bar rant in Rio turned into a nightmare when monkey gestures toward Black staff led to jail threats and a seized passport.

During Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Benfica on February 17, Gianluca Prestianni told UEFA investigators he called Vinícius 'maricón,' a Spanish anti-gay slur, not 'mono' for monkey as alleged by Vinícius, Kylian Mbappé, and Aurélien Tchouaméni.

Paris Saint-Germain's 25-year-old midfielder Vitinha impressed fans with his signature slow-motion penalty technique in a UEFA Champions League highlight clip.

Real Madrid reportedly admire him as a top midfield target for next summer, but Fabrizio Romano notes his contract to 2029, €130 million price tag, and PSG's view of him as untouchable make any move very complicated and expensive.

Key Takeaway

Vitinha pauses mid-stride, stares down the keeper, then slots the penalty home with ice-cold precision amid roaring crowds.
