The Court of Justice São Paulo, Brazil dismissed an appeal after a lower court refused a request for the de-indexing of articles from online search results. A Brazilian individual had been linked to a financial crime “mafia” and – although the criminal process was eventually terminated – there were various articles about his alleged involvement available online. The individual requested that search engines remove results about that criminal involvement from search results of his name. The lower court initially granted the de-indexing interim injunction, but later revoked that interim relief. The lower court held that the interests of freedom of expression of the press and society’s right to access to information should prevail in this situation. The appellate court dismissed the appeal, confirming the lower court’s decision.
