S1 E35 Defamation vs Privilege a Deep Dive Debate


Listen Later

Welcome to iFraud's Deep Dive Debate.  Our hosts address a legal dispute where on once side we have Alexandre B. de Moura and his legal team with  allegations of defamation against the Willis Law Group and associated entities. Dr. Alexandre B. de Moura claims that the defendants initiated a frivolous RICO action against him and the New York Spine Institute, then publicly disseminated false and damaging statements through social media and other channels, accusing him of participating in a "massive fraud scheme." 

On the other side, we have The Willis Law Group, who in response, argues that de Moura's lawsuit is a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP), asserting that their statements are protected by litigation privilege and relate to matters of public concern, namely a widespread "fraudemic" in workers' compensation, and are thus requesting the case's dismissal with attorney's fees.

Welcome to the debate - what do you think?
