When Description Source
2020 Moonspell organised a fundraising campaign with the Portuguese League Against Cancer to provide protective equipment for cancer patients and volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The campaign raised €4,130. Source
Ribeiro has talked about the racism and fascism he encountered in the black-metal scene, including racist threats directed at Moonspell because of the band's Portuguese background. He explains that he rejected those values and distanced himself from parts of the scene associated with racism and fascism. Source
2017, 2018 Fernando Ribeiro publicly discussed the 2017 allegations against Decapitated, emphasizing uncertainty and criticizing the backlash he received. His original post did not declare the band innocent or accuse the complainant of lying, but could be interpreted as self focused. In a later interview, he described the case as a withdrawn complaint, although prosecutors had dismissed the charges without a trial. This wording could mislead readers about what the legal outcome established. Source
