The author also mentioned that Buch sentenced Professor Jonas Bressan to two years in prison and ordered him to pay R$ 10,000 for collective moral damages for a message forwarded in a WhatsApp group on the eve of the second round of elections in 2022. According to Ágape, the Civil Police had archived the investigation. Ágape further reported that in a Christmas letter sent to prisoners in 2021, Buch criticized inequalities and racism in Brazil and the Brazilian government. At the inauguration ceremony on March 7, 2025, the judge reportedly said that the country was flirting with fascism and publicly declared his love for his husband, Lucas Buch.
