Marcelo Valle Silveira Mello

Marcelo Valle Silveira Mello (born August 9, 1985 in Brasília ) is a Brazilian security hacker . He was arrested in 2018 during the Operação Bravata for inciting violence. He is currently serving a 41-year prison sentence.

Mello, a former IT student, has been promoting acts of violence and the publication of images of murder and pedophilia since 2005 when he was active on the Orkut social network . In 2009, he became the first Brazilian to publicly campaign on the Internet for crimes motivated by hatred and racism and to be charged as a result. He was sentenced to one year and two months in prison but was released because his lawyers pleaded insanity. He allegedly had contact with Wellington Menezes de Oliveira, who killed 12 children in the 2011 Realengo rampage at the Tasso da Silveira municipal school in Realengo, Rio de Janeiro.

Mello was arrested in 2012, released in 2013 and detained again in 2018 while living in Curitiba . For several years he threatened and attacked the Argentine Dolores Aronovich , a professor at the Federal University of Ceará , who denounced Mello's practices. Aronovich's actions sparked Law 13,642/2018, known as Lei Lola , which was passed in 2018 and empowered federal police to investigate misogyny online.
