The bassist’s daughter reportedly asked the company for a refund, but to no avail
Hospitalized without health insurance
SBT reportedly decided not to renew Mingau’s health plan, just over four months after he underwent skull surgery. The bassist of Ultraje a Rigor was part of the cast of the program “La Noite”, by Danilo Gentili”, when he was hit in the head in September 2023.
The information was released this Monday (9/12) by columnist Fábia Oliveira, who reportedly spoke to sources close to the artist. Apparently Isabella Aglio had offered to reimburse the company for the costs incurred by the service provider so as not to interrupt her father’s care, but without success.
In the first year of treatment, SBT offered Mingau’s family a stipend to help her continue treatment and paid for her health plan. However, the contract with the concessionaire expires on December 31st and will not be renewed by the broadcaster.
The family members have once again become worried about the situation of the artist, who is once again hospitalized and will not be able to be reimbursed by SBT. He is making progress in treatment, but the loss of financial support could represent an obstacle to his recovery.
Porridge case
Mingau has faced a slow recovery process since September 2023, when his car was hit by gunfire in Paraty, on the coast of Rio. A bullet passed through his skull and he had to undergo two surgeries, leaving him with the consequences.
According to investigations, the bassist sped past in a dark pickup truck through Praça do Ovo, in the community of Ilha das Costas. The act aroused suspicion among drug traffickers operating in the Rio region, who fired several shots at the vehicle.
