In a Rio de Janeiro restaurant one evening, a disagreement over a cork fee — the charge some establishments levy when guests bring their own wine — unraveled into something far more serious. Ed Motta, a prominent figure in Brazilian music, and his party became entangled in an escalating confrontation that ended with a patron struck by a glass bottle. The injured victim's legal team has since stepped forward, insisting that prominence does not purchase impunity, and that the law must answer what a social evening left broken.
