YouTube told: remove model film or face fine

Intimate footage of a former fiancée of Brazilian footballer Ronaldo must stop being shown on YouTube, the video-sharing website, a court has ruled.

The ban, by the supreme court in Sao Paolo state, Brazil, came after previous attempts to bar the video of a tryst between the model Daniela Cicarelli and a new boyfriend failed.

Google, which bought the YouTube in a deal worth $1.65 billion (£850 million) last year, has been unable to prevent new users from reposting the video.

Google must now find a way to carry out the order or face paying $120,000 (£62,000) every day it appears.

The video of Cicarelli and Renato Malzoni on a beach in Spain won notoriety in Brazil before the model, who is also an MTV presenter, won her first banning injunction in September.
