Joelma’s passport is blocked by court decision

The labor lawsuit ended with the blocking of the singer’s document, with a collection action of more than R$ 1 million

The singer Joelma had her passport blocked by decision of Judge Gustavo Augusto Pires de Oliveira, of the 11th Labor Court of Recife. The measure comes amid a labor case in which the singer and the company she kept with her ex-husband, Ximbinha, were ordered to pay more than R$1 million to a former manager of the band Calypso.

Joelma’s defense, having served the order this Wednesday (20/3), plans to present a habeas corpus for the singer’s benefit. The lawyers argue that the judge’s decision violates the constitutional right to come and go, as well as to practice one’s profession, considering that Joelma is abroad for work.

Execution of the work action

The industrial action is in the enforcement phase, which means that the Court is seeking measures to settle the amount owed to the former entrepreneur. In 2021 the value of the process was calculated at R$843 thousand. Today the value already exceeds R$ million.

The employment tribunal has ordered the freezing of the amounts that would have been paid to the singer due to the shows she performed. This occurred with R$125,000 that would have been paid to the singer by the municipality of Caruaru, in the hinterland of Pernambuco. The valuables ended up being seized.

Justification of the block

In determining the freezing of Joelma’s passport, the judge cited the repeated frustration of the measures taken by the court to carry out the sentence imposed on the singer. According to him, searches were carried out in a number of databases and only properties with various judicial restrictions were found.
