In this case, the dispute appears to have been a civil one between parties contesting control over the property: the former clinic operator and the landlord/owners of the property, the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The people had no advocate at that proceeding, and the court and authorities were unpersuaded by IGR and Carlos Figueiredo Bezerril.
Courts are normally given all but total immunity in all jurisdictions. I'd argue that the court and SVdP were criminally negligent here.
(I'm just reading these details now through the Wikipedia article. I'm interested in a more complete report, because quite clearly things were fouled up quite badly.)
