The defamation case against Max Cavalera has reached a final verdict. The judge ruled in favor of the Sepultura founder.
The lawsuit had been filed by his former sister-in-law, alleging that Max defamed her in his 2014 autobiography, "My Bloody Roots.".
“It’s great to be able to put this case behind us,” said Max Cavalera. “It was very frustrating to learn that I’ve always been honest about the events of my life, even during negative times. I’m grateful to the courts in Brazil for seeing the truth in this case and allowing justice to prevail.”
By winning all appeals, the case is considered "res judicata," which means the sentence can no longer be changed.
A fine must also be paid by the losing party.
